Opportunity, supervising, teachers, student teachers, educational system and climate

Supervision is the cornerstone of any successful educational system. Without professional and thorough supervision by Heads of schools it’s like a ship without a rider. You are rest assured that the ship will get lost in the seas. However “like a navigator, a supervisor out of the nature of the enterprise has to know where he/she is going and has to have technical operational knowledge of the means to get there”. Therefore challenges faced by the supervisors are: -Building a climate for supervision, Teacher motivation, Leadership behavior, supervisory power & Staff development. It is now imperative that we examine each and every challenge and explain briefly or to put a bit of fresh on to them.
