Supervision of Instruction

1. Illustrate through a schematic presentation, the supervision of successful


schools. Explain your presentation.

School supervision usually refers to the improvement of the overall


teaching-learning situation and the variables that impact it. The supervisor
should do study to identify the techniques, methods, and procedures that are
critical to the effectiveness of supervision. Supervisors should be sympathetic
and approachable, and there should be mutual respect and trust between the
supervisor and his or her employees. Be organized: A supervisor must be able to
handle problems and manage time demands calmly. In every institution the type of
leadership style is important for a successful environment. In order to
establish a successful school environment to compete globally, the leader
should comprehend the basic leadership theories and styles (Glickman et al.,
2010). The cultures at schools are important to the success of the students
and overall of the school, but also can be very difficult to establish and
maintain without the proper leadership knowledge (Waite, 1995). Defined as
an administrative process through which school managers or leaders ensures
that teachers are all contributing towards sound and qualitative teaching and
learning process, effective supervision is sine-qua-non to improved student
learning and achievement of educational goals (Quiroz, 2015).

2. Identify then justify three significant characteristics of successful schools.


Ans.
3. Interpersonal supervisory behavior is important to supervision. Discuss the
clustering of these behaviors and impact to supervision.
Interpersonal skills are defined as the ability adopted by the school principal
that allows the school to have a successful human interaction. The
responsibilities of school principals are so vast that they necessitate a variety
of approaches. In addition to their talents, the tactics involve developing
positive relationships with their employees and outsourcing some of their
responsibilities with authorities to their employees. This delegation boosts
trust, sociability, and loyalty among school administrators and staff, as well as
employee growth. Such personnel are more likely to be preoccupied with
fulfilling the many responsibilities assigned to them in a school in which the
principal voices worries about the personnel. Their duty is to create an
environment that encourages the development of human potential.
4. Technical skills are important to instructional supervisors. Discuss these by
hypothesizing on a workplace setting where these skills are deemed
important?
Instructional supervision is the work of ensuring the implementation of the
educational mission of a school by overseeing, equipping, and empowering
teachers to provide meaningful learning experiences for students.
The aims of instructional supervision are as follows:
(1) to provide objective feedback to teachers;
(2) to diagnose and solve teaching problems;
(3) to help teachers develop their strategies and skills;
(4) to evaluate teachers for promotions or appointments; and
(5) to help teachers maintain a positive attitude.
Every profession necessitates a unique mix of talents, which is why technical
skills are in high demand and critical for all careers for a variety of reasons.
They provide you with foundational knowledge and can help you work more
effectively, enhance your confidence, and make you a more valuable
prospect to potential companies. When compared to other generic profiles,
technical professionals frequently earn more. Businesses are constantly on
the search for specialized educated workers since their clients want to work
with highly competent teams that they can trust to produce the outcomes they
require.
5. Comment on the quotation, Supervision is to be viewed as a process and a
function rather than a role or a position.
The purpose of the supervision process is to provide a safe, supportive
opportunity for individuals to engage in critical reflection in order to raise
issues, explore problems, and discover new ways of handling both the
situation and oneself. A critical aspect of supervision lies in its potential to
educate.
Two central goals of supervision are:
(a) promoting supervisee developmental growth through teaching (i.e.,
enhancing the supervisee's knowledge and applied skills), and
(b) protecting the welfare of clients (i.e., making sure individuals the
supervisee is working with are receiving high quality professional services).
Definitions of supervision tell us something about what supervision aims to
achieve or the function(s) it intends to fulfil.
Although there are various definitions of supervision there are commonalities
between them. Some place more emphasis on the organizational purpose of
supervision while others focus more on the individual.
