• Analyze supervision in its many forms, such as to facilitate effective performance to help our students and our peers learn, and to assess performance when it is required.
• Recognize and evaluate our espoused supervision theory as one of our choice, and work toward matching it with supervision theory-in-use.
• Examine and predict possible outcomes from various models and theories of supervision and correlate them to appropriate situations.
• Perform appropriate observational techniques and evaluation devices to collect data and document performance of the preservice or in-service teacher or employee.
• Perform appropriate supervisory techniques in planning conferences and in final conferences with the preservice or in-service teacher or employee.
• Develop and manage the skills to communicate and determine how best to help others (students, peers, or employees) improve practice.
• Develop sensitivity to the differences of others due to factors such as gender, culture, developmental stage, and learning style.
• Gain a broadened perspective and thorough understanding of research and literature in supervision.
