Rehumanizing Supervision and Evaluation: Leading with Love Languages to Empower Educators

Rehumanizing Supervision and Evaluation recognizes a simple but urgent truth: in a profession built on relationships, educational supervision has too often become transactional, compliance-driven, and disconnected from the human elements of teaching and learning. Through a storied and research-driven approach, this book proposes the foundation of educator love languages as a basis for evaluation, helping school leaders identify and speak each educator’s professional love language, transforming evaluation from a checklist into a conversation rooted in trust, dignity, and growth. Readers will uncover the five educator love languages, learn how educators interpret feedback differently, and discover how to communicate in ways that are intrinsically motivating. Reflection questions and dialogue starters make the framework immediately usable for practicing administrators while helping aspiring leaders develop a deeply human leadership philosophy. Not another dull coaching text on how to give feedback or conduct evaluations, this is a love letter and roadmap for restoring the human aspects of school leadership, helping leaders support inspired and effective teaching and learning in their schools.
