Supervision Tools for International Teacher Leaders - TLI 116
Important note: Courses with the same title are the same content. The 5-day course is a deeper unpacking of the material. To complete your certificate, do not take any two courses with the same title, regardless of the course length.
As international schools mature, collaborative and distributed leadership models are becoming far more common. Many of these models expand the roles of department heads, grade or year level leaders, and other teacher leaders, to include instructional supervision, support and appraisal of teachers. At the PTC, we believe that this expanded role is vital for ensuring the continued support and growth of our international school teachers. With this in mind, we have created this course as part of our International Teacher Leader Certificate, and made it mandatory for all current or aspiring teacher leaders.
This course focuses on:
• The research on what makes an effective teacher
• What specifically to look for while observing a teacher
• Strategies for recording the results of observation
• The role of the teacher leader in contributing to teachers’ evaluation
• Mechanisms for giving effective feedback
• First steps in supervising through analysis of planning and assessment tools
• Leadership skills and strategies to support teams and individuals through supervision practices
