Class Visitation
Adult-education administrators do not agree as to the desirability of direct observation by members of the staff of classes in session. Some administrators feel that it is only by visiting classes that they can really know what is going on in their program. They also feel that the instructors appreciate having the administrative staff show enough interest in their work to drop around and see them in action. Other administrators feel that instructors resent their visiting classes and think of it as snooping. They also hesitate to cause the interruption that is involved when a strange person enters a class in session. Probably the only solution to the problem is to let the faculty decide for themselves, individually and as a group, whether they would find class visitations a help or a hindrance.
