| Description : |
Earlier research and the research reported in this paper indicate that the supervisory
support and academic guidance provided by inspectors to teachers in government and
private-aided senior secondary schools in India is totally inadequate. India’s inherited
British system of supervision of schools by inspectors must be redefined for the
present context. Transferring academic supervision from education authorities’
inspectors to heads of schools is a way forward. Education authorities in this changing
situation should continue to ensure that education policy guidelines are observed.
They should also audit appropriate aspects of school management, and support heads’
efforts. The value of the head as instructional leader and facilitator has been generally
recognized. School-based instructional supervision by heads could bring about and
sustain the professional development of teachers. |
