Columbia University, is presently a professor of Education at the Graduate School of education, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, N.J., where he teaches courses on teacher supervision and evaluation. He has authored many books and articles in the field, including Improving Discussion Leadership (New York: Teachers College Press, 1980), \"Testing for Teacher Competence: The Logic, the Law, and the Implications,\" Journal of Teacher Education (March-April 1984), and \"Writing Observation Reports,\" Thresholds in Education (May 1984). Dr. Hyman is an active member of the New Jersey Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (State Executive Board) and frequently conducts in-service workshops on teaching strategies as well as teacher supervision and evaluation.  For the K-12 supervising school administrator, here is a practical working tool for stimulating the professional growth of your staff during faculty meetings and other in-service workshops throughout the school year.  \u003cp\u003eIncluded are guidelines for planning and chairing a faculty meeting — with a handy chart for dealing with various types of motions - and seven though-provoking group activities, each focusing on a specific set of skills:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eCOLORED BROKEN SQUARES (cooperation and communication)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTHE PENNY (observations, inference, and evaluation)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTHE PRISONER'S DILEMMA (trust and group benefit)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTHE SUPERVISION WINDOW (awareness and openness)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSHERLOCK (collaboration and independence)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWINTER GRASH SIRVIVAL (group decision-making)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTHE SPELLING TEST (evaluation)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e For easy and effective use, each activity is structured and complete, including a statement of purpose with explicit learning objectives ... an overview ... a list of materials needed ... number of participants ... step-by-step procedures ... points raised by the activity ... suggestions and comments ... and applications in staff development.  \u003cp\u003eMoreover, all of the material required for the activities are either provided on reproducible pages or are easily obtained (for example, a penny).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eYou'll find that theses activities are highly motivating to teachers and provide a welcome break from conventional approaches to supervision. They facilitate interactions in a nonthreatening situation in which everyone participates and has fun while learning, and give the teacher and supervisor a common, unifying experience that serves as a reference point for working together.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNOTE: The activities in the Manual will be particularly useful when combined with the information and techniques in the author's \u003cb\u003eSchool Administrator's Faculty Supervision Handbook.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jossey-Bass","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989991964901,"sku":"NP9780137926077","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780137926077.jpg?v=1761786135","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/school-administrators-staff-development-activities-manual-isbn-9780137926077","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
