ABSTRACT
When I used to ask teachers to write down comments they recalled from conversations with supervisors or fellow teachers who had visited their classes or had watched videotapes of their teaching, the comments and exchanges between different supervisors/observing teachers and the observed teachers seemed very different from each other. Others have found this too. Gebhard (1984), in a review of different models of supervision-different
ways of making comments or of having conversations about lessons between supervisors and teachers-uses these labels: directive, alternative, collaborative, nondirective, creative.
