DI Continuum • P: S determines clear classroom goal • Directs s to appropriate activities • C: S remains information source • L, (internal) P: Asks for & considers s feedback • D: Provides a range of alternatives… • From which s chooses • S: S details what, when, how & sets criteria Session 8: 9 slides

Key point… “Directive informational supervision is used to direct teacher(s) to consider and choose from clearly delineated alternative actions…. Such an approach is useful when the expertise, confidence, and credibility of the supervisor clearly outweigh the teacher’s own information, experience, and capabilities” (p. 130) Session 8: 9 slides
