SESSION: June 16, 2012

Supervision is the primary function of the school head that is to supervise instructional program.         

  I learned that instructional leadership is the heart of the educational system which strives for curriculum improvement.  

                   The supervisory function of the school head is to assist the teachers to grow and develop professionally. Through this, they will be self-fulfilled and happy about their profession. Teachers will become more effective and creative for a more enjoyable learning experience to the school clienteles. In addition to these tasks, according to Bruce and Grimsley school heads as instructional leaders are both researchers and consumer of research to determine the efficacy of their of their instructional programs. In this way they can also find effective procedures and practices for classroom interaction and management.

                 The attainment of the educational goals of the school heads are their essential role that gives me a great pressure if in the future I will become one of them. Yet, as a teacher I have known the felling of being intimidated since signifies an authority on their part. This is what I would like to erase the trademark of the administrators. Overseeing the work of the teachers in a democratic style of management will be performed as a developmental activity which also requires my professional capabilities and personal abilities. These will also a way of gaining assistance from the stakeholders to realize the set goals. I believe that the fundamental task of the school heads is to give a hand and to those being supervised not to terrorized. I will ensure that every teacher will be given proper attention and action to circumvent teachers’ instructional difficulty and incompetence.

                 I would like to adapt Peter Senges’ words and I quote,”All human beings are born with unique gifts. The healthy functioning of our community depends on its capacity to develop each gift.” The persons in the whole school community, various resources, materials, facilities and many other peoples, things and ideas are gifts. Let us nurture them.

                  Let us hitch our wagon to the Stars.

  TO BE ALL THE GLORY!
