In Inspiring Peak Performance: Competence, Commitment, and Collaboration, Paula Jorde Bloom, Ann Hentschel, and Jill Bello observe that good supervisors are...
Positive — focusing energy on what's good and what works
Curious — asking open-ended questions and eagerly exploring possibilities
Specific and focused — dealing in particulars and keeping tasks manageable
Respectful — treating teachers as valued colleagues
Observant — keeping their eyes and ears open, tuning in to what isn't said as well as what is
Patient — understanding that change takes time
Compassionate — expressing empathy and concern for teachers' challenging moments
Open — willing to share their own professional journey, strengths, and vulnerabilities

Imagine what your program would look like if it were a true professional learning community – a place where teachers saw each new day as an opportunity to expand their competence and confidence and support one another in moving toward a shared vision of program excellence. This book provides the power tools you need to help you build teacher competence, strengthen staff commitment, and expand opportunities for collaboration to make that vision come alive.
