Dr. Patricia E. Holland was a member and served in the leadership of both the AERA SIG: Supervision and Instructional Leadership and the Council of Professors of Instructional Supervision. Pat and I studied under Morris Cogan and Noreen Garman at the University of Pittsburgh during the 1970s and 80s. She was among the 2nd generation of supervision scholars, known for her work in clinical supervision, professional development, the supervisory conference, standards, and postmodern supervision; and recently cited by Gordon (2019) for her work on the hermeneutic perspective. She published numerous articles in journals such as the NASSP Bulletin, International Journal of Leadership, and the Peabody Journal of Education, and an edited book, Beyond Measure Neglected Elements of Accountability in Schools (2004). Pat was a Professor Emerita at the University of Houston. Her playful view of the everyday ordinary and her wry wit will be missed. Written by Helen Hazi in memory of Dr. Patricia Holland.
