First published in 1971 and now the best known book in the field, Supervision: A Redefinition continues to be the leading text for combining an in-depth view of theory and research on supervision with practical applications. The seventh edition once again redefines the field of supervision in response to changing school contexts, policies, and realities. The book promotes a new vision of supervision from that of a top-down activity performed by higher-ups in the school hierarchy, to one in which supervision is a shared activity involving all stake-holders in the school including teachers, administrators, and parents. Supervision: A Redefinition sees schools as communities rather than organizations, and emphasizes the student-teacher relationship rather than bureaucratic functions.
