From the Reviews

“Glatthorn begins with theoretical constructs, but his book is deliberately practical. It is permeated with the idea of cooperation and collegiality, focusing on the use of the portfolio as a reflective and diagnostic tool for personal growth via supervision or peer analysis . . .  This book provides a well–organized summary of the theory, research, and logistics.” – Judy Butler, University of Texas at Austin, in the Journal of Curriculum and Supervision
