Abstract

Collegial groups of professional people have been shown to produce high adult achievement and performance and therefore learning the skills of working with groups to solve instructional problems is a critical task of supervision. This paper covers knowledge, skills, and procedures for developing productive instructional improvement groups in the complex school environment characterized by turbulence and chaos emanating from dysfunctional group members. Throughout this paper, the importance of these methods in developing group leadership skills has been explained: using group observations, changing group leadership styles, dealing with dysfunctional members, and preparing for meetings. The paper also demonstrates how development supervision can be applied to professional groups by showing how a developmental supervisor matches the supervisory approaches to the group's characteristics.
