Clinical Clinical SupervisionSupervision

Clinical Supervision•involves being available, looking over the

shoulder of the trainee, teaching on the job with developmental conversations, regular feedback and the provision of a rapid response to issues as they arise.

• is a five-step process designed to improve teaching performance. The desired primary purpose of this approach is to develop skilled teachers.

Robert Goldhammer’s model for clinical supervision includes five stages:

 1. Pre-observation conference- gather information related to the teacher’s lesson plan, procedures, and assessments.

2. Observation- observe the lesson outlined in the pre-observation conference and to gather data and information that may be used to advance knowledge, skills, and dispositions of the teacher.

3. Data analysis- the supervisor complies, sorts, and organizes the data collected into a usable format.

4. Post-observation conference (supervisory conference)- examining what occurred during the lesson, targeting areas for improvement or enrichment, and developing an action plan for continuous improvement performance.

5. Post-conference analysis- the supervisor determines whether or not the teacher understands and agrees with the follow-up and improvement targets.

Effective clinical supervision should provide an opportunity for teachers to:

• examine, share, and express their educational philosophies;

• receive objective comments and guidance on their teaching;

• explore the relationship between their predicted and actual performance during the instructional process;

• target areas for improvement, monitor progress, and examine changes in their beliefs and practices.

*The Clinical Model shall be used when a Teacher is new to the division, new to the profession, or new to the school (if needed).

*A staff member can request clinical evaluation.

*The supervision/evaluation shall be based on the elements of good teaching and professional responsibility.
