The New Trend in Classroom Visitation

According to Glickman, Gordon and Ross-Gordon, (2010), classroom

visits provide an opportunity for principals and teachers to come into
face-to-face contact in actual teaching-learning situations. Classroom
visits may be formal or informal (Gold-Hammer, 1969). Formal visit
usually involves procedural approach, better known as clinical
supervision. According to Rashid's (2001) research about the perception
of teachers on supervisory practices in Riyadh schools, classroom
visitation enhances teachers’ performance. The study further revealed
that conducting classroom visits through the clinical supervision
process improved both teacher and students’ standing (Rashid, 2001).
Similarly, it has been asserted that clinical supervision enhances
students’learning process (Nahed, 2012)
