I. Elucidate the following.

1. In two paragraphs discuss
- The School Instructional Supervision.
Instructional supervision plays an important role in making sure the quality of teaching and
learning process in school. It includes a wide range of activities and trainings to enhance
the professional growth of the teaching staffs, ultimately resulting to improved students’
outcomes. As the saying goes, “You cannot preach what you don’t practice.” It holds
significant relevance in the context of education, particularly in the relationship between
teachers and students. How can a teacher be effective in his/her job when we don’t know
what we are doing. To help the educational system, a proper intervention – trainings,
seminars, feedback, and the like is required, and the guidance of our administrators will
lead to successful outcomes. One example I can site was the time I was teaching SHS in
Escuela de Sophia of Caloocan, Inc. We, teachers, have full access to all the learning
materials and provides us with sufficient trainings related to our fields. Administrators are
always there to ask us our needs and if we needed any help. Their feedback is always open
if we needed it and we have our partner teachers who can help us in adjusting as we are
new teachers at that time. That is an example of a quality instructional supervision in
school.

Instructional supervision is a critical component of school improvement efforts, focusing on

enhancing teaching practices and ultimately benefiting student learning outcomes. By
understanding its key components, importance, and challenges, educators can work towards
implementing effective supervision practices in their schools.

quality of education will be aligned to the country’s educational vision and mission. First, a
supervisor must be a good instructional leader. They provide guidance and support to
teachers in improving their instructional practices by conducting classroom observations,
providing feedback, and facilitating professional development. They also ensure that the
curriculum is aligned with educational standards and meets the needs of students.
Collaborating with teachers to develop curriculum frameworks, selecting instructional

decision-making process by analyzing student achievement data, identifying trends, and
making data-driven decisions. They must also be open for feedback and have good
communication and trust with its stakeholders and lastly, they must possess a good

components of a supervisor.

Supervisors in schools play a critical role in supporting teachers, improving instructional

practices, and ensuring the overall success of the school. By fulfilling these roles, functions,
and competencies, supervisors can create a positive and effective learning environment
that promotes student achievement and growth.

2. Cite situation that’s manifest a good instructional leader.

According to one of a U.S. senator, “Ninety percent of leadership is the ability to
communicate something people want.” A good instructional leader must be a good
communicator, recipient, and seeker of information. An example of a good communicator
leader is our school administrator in my previous school. We, as a rookie teacher at that
time, needed help and she exactly knows it. First, she provides us trainings and seminars to
improve and to have knowledge of what we should do. After the seminar, she asked us
about the things that we needed and wanted to know about the process of teaching in the
school. At the time that we are teaching, she constantly observe and asks for questions and
provide feedback to us which encourage us to do more and the best we can. She exactly
knows what we needed and wanted without making us feel too much pressure. She provides
also merits and recognition if we do something excellent.

Effective communication is a cornerstone of instructional leadership. A good instructional

leader not only conveys information clearly but also listens actively, provides constructive
feedback, and fosters open dialogue. By being a good communicator, instructional leaders
can inspire and motivate teachers, build trust and rapport, and create a positive and
collaborative school culture.

3. What is School-Based Management and its importance? How the different principles
guides us? As a teacher or school head?
School-Based Management is an approach to school governance and administration that
decentralizes decision-making to individual schools. It aims to empower school
communities, including teachers, parents, and administrators, to collaborate in making
decisions that affect the school's operation and educational programs. As the saying goes, it
takes a village to teach a child. Collaboration with the school and stakeholders is vital to
make sure that the quality of education is in its excellent form. Without SBM, a school can
not function well and everything will not fall into line.
School-Based Management is a powerful approach to school governance that can lead to
improved educational outcomes and a more responsive and effective school system. By
embracing the guiding principles of SBM, teachers and school heads can work together to
create a positive and enriching learning environment for all students.
