Being the leader school in the secondary education, I can

stand by word that our school, Zamboanga City High School is

making ways and means to improve instruction in the Education.

Before the school year starts, Administrators are into planning

out activities for teacher enhancement, like having INSET for

teachers as a refresher course. Every summer, The school heads

and administrators are into discussing out the SIP ( School

Improvement Plan) for the school. At the same time students were

given the chance to get their missed subjects in summer. To get

in touch with the latest in educational programs, teachers are

also sent for training in other places wherein such knowledge

will be applied like the latest program called UBD (

understanding by design).

Each department is headed by a department head who

supervises the Instruction of the teachers according to the

curriculum they follow.Before the start of the semester.

Students are given diagnostic test to determine weaknesses and

strengths about the subject matter for the year in order to givemore focus on their weaknesses and enhancement on strengths. The

Basis for the creation of the test questions are under the table

of specifications to make sure that the test given are valid and

reliable. MPS are collected for the pre and post test and also

for every grading period, as it is the basis for the quality of

learning of the students. At the same time,, teachers were being

observed by the curriculum coordinator and department head for

every department. As Glickman has conceptualized that

supervision as the "glue" of a successful school. According to

Glickman, the administrator functions as "glue" in the sense

that he or she successfully molds the myriad elements ofinstructional effectiveness into successful school action where

successfully school action is ultimately manifested as high

quality instruction resulting in strong levels of student

achievements. The question that can be asked here is how the

principal/administrator best attains the objectives of high

quality instruction and high levels of student achievement?

As other authors will have to suggest that once a

curriculum is created, therefore there is a need now to

supervise on how it is being delivered. Therefore it would need

to be looked upon on a close encounter to see flaws or to see

its effectiveness as well as to check if goals or objectives

were attained for the said program.

As a teacher, being an adviser of students, she must have a

Systems for student support that should focus on enabling

learners to take personal control of their own development, by

providing opportunities for the exercise of choice, decision-

making and responsibility within a supportive environment, in

order to promote the development of autonomous learning. With

these, teachers must be acquainted with her full responsibility

as being one, and so as a suggestion I think the school must

then train teachers for guidance and counseling in order to take

mastery on this field of responsibility. A Guidance arrangements

should rest on an assumption of equality of opportunity for allstudents, with additional resources and strategies invested in

those students who are likely, for whatever reason, to be

disadvantaged in their learning or career development. And that

would be the work of the guidance office for the incoming

college students.

There are times also that Team supervision are done in the

school to make evaluations on the school programs by subject

areas.

Through the effective supervision of instruction, administrators

can reinforce and enhance teaching practices that will

contribute to improved student learning. By skillfully analyzing

performance and appropriate data, administrators can provide

meaningful feedback and direction to teachers that can have a

profound effect on the learning that occurs in each classroom.

Because student learning is the primary function of the schools,

the effective supervision of instruction is one of the most

critical functions of the administrator. If schools are to

provide equal access to quality educational programs for all

students, administrators must hold teachers accountable forproviding an appropriate and well-planned program. These

programs include a variety of teaching strategies designed to

meet the diverse needs of all students in our complex society.

For every school that exist it is very important that there must be planning involved,

because planning is a process for accomplishing purposes. It is a blue print of business growth

and a road map of development. It helps in deciding objectives both in quantitative and

qualitative terms. It is setting of goals on the basis of objectives and keeping in the resources.As

for the start of every school year, The Zamboanga City high School Administrators, headed by

the principal and heads are undertaking discussions on the programs to be implemented for the

school, they termed it as the Sip or the School Improvement plan. Before the school year starts,

Administrators are into planning out activities for teacher enhancement, like having INSET for

teachers as a refresher course .To get in touch with the latest in educational programs, teachers

are also sent for training in other places wherein such knowledge will be applied like the latest

program called UBD ( understanding by design).

In as much as planning is important, the day to day activity of the principal is important

such as supervising everything in the school from the teachers down to the maintenance

section. With the help of the Department head of every subject area, supervision of instruction

can be done carefully to see if teachers are able to bring learning to the students. Clinical

observations are done to the teachers to see if strategies are still useful or if new strategiesdelivered are efficient in order to bring learning. Master teachers are somewhat helpful in

getting MPS and interpret results of examinations such as diagnostic, Pre and post test. A

quarterly examination is given as well to see educational quality as learned by the students.

The Basis for the creation of the test questions are under the table of specifications to make

sure that the test given are valid and reliable. According to an author, the administrator

functions as "glue" in the sense that he or she successfully molds the myriad elements of

instructional effectiveness into successful school action where successfully school action is

ultimately manifested as high quality instruction resulting in strong levels of student

achievements. Since new programs are implemented , administrators must then be able to

make good use of their skills in supervising to see to it that it has been implemented and to alsosee its effectiveness.

As part of Guidance task, arrangements should rest on an assumption of equality of

opportunity for all students.Guidance officersshould work on the guidingincoming college

students for the career that would have to fit them. Also they should give counseling to some

problematic students, in which sometimes I cant see their point of existence,, Some would

sometimes joke on that They are misguided.

Team supervision arealso done in the school to make evaluations on the school programs by

subject areas. Supervisors and teachers flock by to observe classes in the different curriculum

levels.I think that with the involvement of state departments of education in monitoring school

improvement efforts, supervisory responsibilities have increasingly encompassed the tasks at

the higher end of this list. In turn, these responsibilities involve supervisors in much morecomplex, collaborative, and develop-mental efforts with teachers, rather than with the more

strictly inspectorial responsibilities of an earlier time.

A variety of trends can be seen in the field of supervision, all of which mutually influence one

another (both positively and negatively) in a dynamic school environment. One trend indicates

that teachers will be "supervised" by test results. With teachers being held accountable for

increasing their students' scores, the results of these tests are being scrutinized by district and

in-house administrators and judgments being made about the competency of individual

teachers - and, in the case of consistently low-performing schools, about all the teachers in the

school. In some districts, these judgments have led to serious efforts at professional

development. Unfortunately, in many districts test results have led to an almost vitriolic

blaming of teachers which should not be. But hope so this trend in supervision will not hinder

teachers to get unmotivated to upgrade themselves but rather will serve as challenge for the to

grow professionally.
