Discussion 2

Imagine that teachers are working on a curriculum development project that you are supervising. Through observation and private conversations, you notice these problems:

 Two teachers are working with each other but not fully contributing to the group. One teacher is trying to be the leader without general consent. An older teacher does not see the point of the project and does not want to participate. A second-year teacher feels overwhelmed and unappreciated.

As a supervisor, how would you intervene to resolve these problems? What supervision technique(s) would you use in this situation? How would you use this supervision technique in a manner consistent with your personal philosophy and style? How will you use the technique in a manner that benefits all the teachers? Provide examples from personal experience where appropriate.
