A highly readable and usable resource

Management and leadership issues are interspersed with well-constructed, specific profiles of mediocre teachers. Ineffective and effective supervisory responses are detailed following each profile, making for an instructive contrast. Observation and self-assessment templates offer useful starting points for the particular demands of addressing the needs of a teacher(often an entrenched veteran)who is neither effective nor disastrous. My team of department chairs have appreciated this book tremendously.

I loved reading this book for all it taught me and for all the important things it reminded me of. . . . Arguing passionately and convincingly that supervisors must have competence, conviction, and control, the authors provide the information and the tools supervisors need to help teachers mired in mediocrity, that sometimes discouragingly long stretch of the continuum between the incompetent and the skillful. Absent an uncommon talent for denial, you cannot read this book without being transformed as a supervisor.
