I. INTRODUCTION
II. OBJECTIVES
f instructional supervision practices by the school head is to improve schools and students’
achievements by helping teachers to deliver adequately in their role performance
teacher role performance refers to the development of good instructional documents, effective
lesson delivery, regular assessment of students, regular and punctual school and class attendance,
effective use of instructional time, and exhibiting good working relations. In effect, instructional
supervision gives teachers opportunities to collaborate, set goals, understand how their students learn
and become better teachers through improvement in their role performance
A. Clinical Supervision
Clinical supervision is a method of supervision whereby the supervisor is involved with
the teacher in a close, “helping, relationship”. Essentially, clinical supervision in
education involves a teacher receiving information from a colleague who has observed
the teacher’s performance and who serves as both a mirror and a sounding board to
enable the teacher critically examine and possibly alter his or her own professional
practice. Within the context of such supervision, ideas are shared and help is given in
order to improve the teacher’s ability through the analysis of objective data that is
collected during the observation. It might interest us to note 2 that the use of clinical
supervision as a method for improving instruction has a fairly recent history in the
United States. The earliest application began with Morris Cogan and Robert
Goldhammer at Harvard University in the 1960s and continued later at the University of
Pittsburgh and other institutions. As recorded by Glickman et al., (2001 p.324) Congan’s
Clinical Supervision 1973 and Robert Goldhammer’s book, also entitled Clinical
Supervision (1969), are publications resulting from this pioneer work. Their efforts were
stimulated by frustrations they encountered as university supervisors trying to help
teachers who were beginners succeed. Goldhammer and Cogan borrowed the term
“clinical supervision” from the medical profession, where it has been in use for decades,
to describe a process for perfecting the specialized knowledge and skills of practitioners.
Although Clinical supervision is used almost in all levels of school of thought, it is
increasingly used and successfully too by mentor teachers, peer coaches, and teacher
colleagues who believe that a fresh perspective will help to improve classroom success.
However to make this model of supervision work, supervisors must be willing to spend
considerable time working with individual teachers on classroom problems or issues
that the teachers themselves have identified and about which they want more
information. In doing so, the supervisor must have better planning, data-collecting and
good analysis of same, and then human relations skills to boost his/her efforts.
