professionalism, and accountability. It helps
build trust between supervisors and
subordinates. Violating ethical principles can
lead to conflicts and reduced efficiency.

Ethical Challenges in Supervision
• Handling conflicts of interest.
• Addressing employee grievances fairly.

teacher, the principal privately discusses the issue,
finds out the teacher is struggling with personal
matters, and offers flexible working hours temporarily.
Conclusion
• Follow ethical principles in supervision.
• Maintain transparency and fairness.
• Lead by example.
• Always uphold confidentiality and
accountability.
Key Takeaways
Ethical leadership in supervision is
essential for creating a positive and productive
workplace. By understanding various ethical
perspectives, developing decision-making
skills, and fostering a culture of ethics,
supervisors can navigate challenges with
integrity and build trust within their teams.
Models of Supervision and their
Application
• Clinical supervision is a formative evaluation method of working
with teachers for the purpose of improving instruction.
• This teacher-centered,collegial, and collaborative model
requires the establishment of rapport and trust and a proper
climate.
Reporter: Bai Fatima Mamaluba Kamsa
The Clinical Supervision process includes 5
important steps;
1. Pre - conference with the teacher
2. Observation of classroom
[Link] and interpreting observation and
determining conference approach.
4. Post - conference with the teacher.
5. Critique of previous four steps.
Developmental Supervision Model
It is a framework used in educational settings to support
teachers' professional growth and improve their teaching
practices. It focuses on guiding teachers through stages of
development, recognizing that teachers' needs and abilities
evolve over time.

process

practices. It's a confidential, non-evaluative process where
colleagues observe each other's lessons, provide
constructive feedback, and share strategies.

Selecting the Right Supervision Model for
Different Teachers’ Needs
Choosing the right supervision model for teachers is
crucial for their professional growth and student
success. While various models exist, understanding
their strengths and limitations helps select the most
effective approach for different teacher needs.
Reporter: Fiona Mae Morales Lopez
1. Clinical Supervision Model
2. Developmental Supervision Model
3. Differentiated Supervision Model
4. Peer Coaching and Collaborative
Supervision Model
The choice of supervision model should be tailored to the
individual teacher's needs and the school's context. A combination
of models may be most effective, providing a comprehensive and
individualized approach to teacher development. Regular
feedback and ongoing communication are crucial for ensuring that
the chosen model is effective and meeting the teacher's needs.
Take Note:
No model fits all. Often, some approaches are more or less suited
to a particular situation. Hence, it is our challenge as instructional
leaders to explore a variety of approaches to aide in the
development of ALL types of teachers.
Principles of Effective Feedback in Supervision
Effective feedback in supervision is a crucial aspect of
professional development and improvement, particularly in
educational settings. It goes beyond simply evaluating

examples, supervisors can create a culture of continuous
improvement and support that benefits everyone involved.

Supportive Feedback in a Classroom Setting

Mentorship and Coaching
Key Points to Remember:
•Objectivity: Strive for objectivity in your observations. Avoid
letting personal biases or opinions cloud your judgment.
•Regularity: Regular observation allows you to track progress,
identify trends, and provide ongoing support.
•Open Communication: Feedback should be delivered in a
constructive and supportive manner. Encourage open dialogue
and collaboration to ensure understanding.
By effectively utilizing observation in providing feedback, you can
create a culture of continuous learning and professional growth
within your organization.
Evaluation is the crucial step after observation where you analyze
the gathered information to form judgments and make informed
decisions about an individual's performance and development. It's the
bridge between simply noticing something and taking action to
improve it.
Here's how evaluation plays a key role in providing constructive
feedback and fostering professional growth:
1. Setting Standards and Expectations:
Clear Criteria
Shared Understanding
2. Comparing Performance to Standards
Identifying Strengths and Weaknesses
Objective Assessment
3. Providing Constructive Feedback:
Specific and Actionable
Developmental Focus
4. Supporting Professional Growth:
Development Plans
Goal Setting
Key Elements of Effective Evaluation:
1. Regularity: Regular evaluations provide ongoing feedback,
allowing for course correction and continuous improvement.
2. Open Communication: Evaluations should be conducted in
a collaborative and supportive environment, encouraging open
dialogue and feedback.
3. Focus on Improvement: The primary goal of evaluation is to
help individuals improve, not to judge or criticize.
Example:
Imagine you are evaluating an employee's communication skills.
•Observation: You observe that the employee often uses jargon
during team meetings, making it difficult for others to understand.
•Evaluation: You assess that this communication style is not effective
and hinders collaboration.
•Feedback: You provide feedback explaining the impact of jargon
and suggest alternative communication strategies.
By effectively evaluating observed performance, you can provide
valuable insights, support professional growth, and create a positive
and productive work environment.
Creating a Culture of Continuous Learning in
Schools.
It is a fantastic goal
involves fostering an environment where learning is
viewed as an ongoing, lifelong process rather that
something that happens only in formal classroom.
