School supervision is a strategic function within education systems, serving as a bridge between public policy and the reality of schools. Carrying it out requires more than just experience or intuition: it demands solid, historically and theoretically grounded knowledge to support decision-making.This book reviews the current state of knowledge on school supervision, integrating contributions from various perspectives. It addresses its origins in business administration, its development within the Anglo-Saxon tradition, the Spanish school of educational inspection, and contemporary contributions since the year 2000, as well as the transformations resulting from recent educational reforms.The book highlights authors, theories, and practices that have helped consolidate this field, understanding school supervision as a discipline with its own foundations within the educational sciences.Intended for supervisors, administrators, teachers, researchers, and students, this book invites readers to reflect on a form of supervision grounded in scientific rationality, capable of strengthening school processes and improving decision-making within educational communities.
