Several currently researched theories of staff supervision will be used as models to maximize teacher learning and to optimize the learning opportunity for their students. The national INTASC-based standards for beginning teachers, national specialty organizational standards, the Highly Qualified Teacher Requirement of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) legislation, the P-12 New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards, and the New Jersey Professional Standards for School Leaders will provide the foundation for supervisor’s training. Principles and problems of supervision will be explored as well as the varied roles of the supervisor in school districts.

The course is designed to prepare students to become educational leaders and professional curriculum developers.

Students will acquire an understanding of the interrelationships between current issues in curriculum development, socio-cultural and political influences, and the needs of each constituency in educational systems. The course will emphasize analysis and evaluation of significant curriculum practices, reforms, and innovations including the P-12 New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards, the national INTASC standards, and the New Jersey Professional Standards for School Leaders. Emphasis will be placed on connecting an understanding of curriculum theory to effective supervision of curriculum development and practice.
