Praise for the 4th Edition: “This 4th edition provides a masterful blending of time-tested supervisory tools with the latest trends in evaluation including value-adding measures, the influence of current legislation such as the Every Student Succeeds Act, and the continuing impact of technology in learning and teacher evaluation. Dr. Zepeda has provided a valuable resource from both a theoretical and practical perspective.” R. Stewart Mayers, Professor of Educational Instruction and Leadership, Southeastern Oklahoma State University, USA. ""I consider this text the quintessential resource in developing aspiring school leader’s knowledge and skills as they work to improve teacher practice. This 4th edition is additive in its organization of chapters and of current issues surrounding teacher evaluation, teacher learning communities, and effective teaching."" Dana Bickmore, Associate Professor, School of Environmental and Public Affairs, University of Nevada, USA. ""The new edition of this popular supervision text is focused on bringing much-needed coherence to the field. Dr. Zepeda presents a unified vision for supervision, professional development, and teacher evaluation centered on teacher growth and development."" Stephen P. Gordon, Professor of Education and Community Leadership, Texas State University, USA. “This book is one that we adopted three years ago and have never looked back. It is concise yet comprehensive. It is “understandable” without being overwhelming to today’s busy graduate student. Well done!” Barry Kamrath, Associate Professor of School Leadership, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, USA. Praise for the 5th Edition: “Zepeda’s Instructional Supervision: Applying Tools and Concepts is a comprehensive look at the multiple dimensions of supervision, acknowledging the essentials of evaluation proficiently but emphasizing the many components that foster the ongoing development of teachers for a thriving school community. I’m delighted to have a resource that so effectively embeds induction, professional development, and culture building into the landscape of supervision, so the goal is not a teacher rating but teachers positively impacting students’ lives.” Kathleen B. King, Associate Professor of Education, North Central College, USA. “Zepeda’s text is comprehensive [and] provides new administrators with background, context, case scenarios, and action steps on all items related to supervision and evaluation…[I] really haven’t found anything else as comprehensive, practical, and user friendly. Zepeda’s text is not only an entry point on the topic of Instructional Supervision but also a vehicle to get [aspiring administrators] into the role of a competent, fair, and supportive supervisor.” Natasha Neumann, Assistant Professor, School of Education, Educational Leadership and Administration, California State Polytechnic University, USA. “The book was timely, reader friendly, [and] offered tools and case studies…The text is such high quality, relevant, and the author is an expert in this filed and that comes through in the text.” Jennifer M. Anderson, Assistant Professor, Education Instruction and Leadership, Southeastern Oklahoma State University, USA.
