More Praise for Rethinking Teacher Supervision

and Evaluation

‘‘Kim has written an important book, a must-read for anyone who believes that school

can be and must be greatly improved. His argument is clear, cogent, and buttressed by

endless practical ideas borne of his long work on the front lines of urban education. But

his message applies to all educators: pay attention to what does and doesn’t work; build

upon a rich curriculum; and most of all redeﬁne supervision and evaluation to ensure

that it is ongoing, efﬁcient and always focused on staff learning about learning. Marshall

has written a thoughtful, practical and hopeful book that should play a vital role in ending

the fatalism that is a cancer in American education.’’

—Grant Wiggins, president, Authentic Education, Hopewell, New Jersey

‘‘Every principal continuously grapples with the question ‘How can I most effectively

improve instruction in my school?’ Kim Marshall provides a set of powerful answers to

that question by seamlessly weaving together his personal experiences as an accomplished

Boston principal, insightful analysis of educational research, and countless conversations

with expert researchers and practitioners. This is an excellent guide to instructional

leadership for both new and experienced principals.’’

—John King, senior deputy commissioner for P–12 education, New York State

‘‘Kim Marshall is quickly establishing himself as a pre-eminent voice in the ﬁeld of

school leadership. He does what few authors have done before: integrate the critical tasks

of observation, curriculum planning, and data-driven instruction to drive real student

achievement. His combination of real-world experience and visionary thinking creates a

roadmap that has the potential to alter the national landscape on teacher supervision.’’

—Paul Bambrick-Santoyo, managing director, North Star Academy Network,

Uncommon Schools

‘‘Classroom teachers and principals alike will decorate the pages of this insightful book

with notes and underscored passages that offer inspiration and the kind of down to earth

advice you seek from the best teacher you know. Kim Marshall is a visionary thinker with

his ﬁnger right on the pulse of how good teaching transforms thinking, and how deep

concern for students transforms teaching; in direct, compelling language, he describes

the magical synergy that happens when educators at all levels work together to prepare

students for life — not just for tests.’’

—Vicki Spandel, author, CreatingWriters and The 9 Rights of Every Writer

‘‘Kim Marshall brings the wisdom of a seasoned principal and the insights of a

scholar/researcher to this analysis of instructional leadership. His work is practical,

smart and most of all clear and accessible. Any educational leader seeking to ﬁnd ways to

improve the quality of instruction will ﬁnd in this book an invaluable resource. Marshall

writes with the authority of someone who understands what needs to be done to create

successful schools because he has already done so himself.’’

—Pedro A. Noguera, Ph.D., Peter L. Agnew Professor of Education,

Steinhardt School of Culture, Education and Development

Executive Director, Metropolitan Center for Urban Education,

evaluation — it offers a broad-based map of the multiple paths that a principal must

consider if teaching and learning is to be improved deeply.’’
