THE SUPERVISION OF INSTRUCTIONAL PERSONNEL. Supervision of instructional personnel must take place for the continued maintenance of quality education in the District. Its ultimate goal is the improvement of instruction. Supervision may be manifested in a variety of forms and techniques and involves knowledge, talents and skills of all professional personnel. The provisions of the District’s approved Annual Professional Performance Review Plan outline the evaluation process. Effective supervision must recognize the individuality of each teacher and provide a climate for the use of one's full potential; it must help define the purpose of a teaching task and stimulate creative and imaginative teaching. Effective supervision should guide teachers in continuing self-evaluation and self-education. The supervision of instructional personnel is a primary responsibility of the building principal. To assist the principal in the discharge of this responsibility, the services of available personnel, including chairpersons, year level leaders, teachers in a similar subject or year level, and other resource personnel should be utilized. The Supervision and Evaluation Committee, comprised of representatives of the Administration and the Association, will continue to study problems and issues and to make recommendations to the Superintendent concerning the supervision of teachers.
