COPIS to meet, chart future course in Gainesville

Researchers and education leaders from around the country will converge on Gainesville Oct. 27-29 to map out the next decade of research in the field of instructional supervision. The Council of Professors of Instructional Supervision will hold its annual fall conference at the Paramount Plaza Hotel, with the goal of setting a research agenda for the next 10 years.

“The field of supervision, as currently defined, remains under-researched and in need of a collective body of empirical knowledge that can inform public school leaders and university scholars today,” said COE Assistant Professor Diane Yendol-Hoppey, planner for the conference.

Yendol-Hoppey defines instructional supervision as “a field of study that highlights the essential role that school principals, teacher leaders and university faculty play in teacher learning and school improvement.”
