CHAPTER I
Introduction
School Heads holds a crucial role in overseeing and assessing educators, their
proficiency in this aspect greatly influencing teaching quality within their schools. The
refers to the process of gathering information and preparing for instructional supervision
of the teacher. This usually includes going over the teacher when to have instructional
parameters focus, teaching method/strategy use, priority areas in SAT, priority objective
in IPPD. The major goal of pre-conference is to identify both the strengths and
weaknesses in the teachers' instruction while also establishing a plan for the conference
that may successfully address this area. Post conferencing refers to the practice of
performance, identifying areas for growth, and defining goals for their development. The
purpose of post conferencing is to ensure that the teacher comprehends the feedback they
receive and to support them in implementing the discussion changes for the next visit.
Sergiovanni and Starrat (as mentioned in Mwaniki and Guantai, 2018) stated that

various observation instruments. Depending on the demands and desires of the immediate
quality of teaching and the preparation of learning episodes, the observer must emphasize

Good competent teachers will carry out the duties and objectives of the school in
taking decisions that are reasonable in light of the circumstances. As part of attempts to
raise the standard of instruction in schools, the principal has the duty to oversee teachers
during instructional activities.
Bias exists in all organizations, as well as in schools. Bias can cause results to be
invalidated because evaluators may force their own opinions about teaching on the
instructor being watched. Furthermore, Wile (2019) claimed that classroom observation
can be inaccurate since the teacher spends around six hours per day and 180 days per year
teaching while the evaluator watches the instructor for one or two hours of this time.
Teachers' performance may decline during this time period because some grow
On the other hand, observations in the classroom, according to Will (2020), are
another important component of an evaluation. But things are different now; instructors
are trying to acclimate to a new context of online learning, and there are huge
discrepancies in student access. However, the DepEds' major goal right now is the style
of delivery of the course. As a result, many people are discussing the instructor
assessment procedure in online classrooms. In keeping with this, as noted in Will's (2020)
article, experts suggest school held must find a method for continuing to offer feedback to
educators.
Moreover, principal acting in the capacity of a supervisor, can then rephrase all

factors that influences student learning results. The findings of a study conducted by
Rahayu et al. (2018) revealed that professional competence has a substantial impact on
the efficacy of instruction in schools. Moreover, Fischer and Hanze (2019) study shown
that teaching approaches and student participation during the learning process influenced
cognitive engagement, curiosity, learning accomplishment, and the development of
student academic competence. Also, according to the study of Canales & Maldonado
(2018) found that teacher attributes influenced student success in Language and
Mathematics. To summarize, several study findings indicate that the instructor is the most

favorably and substantially related to teachers' performance and attitude. Based on these
data, it is clear that the instructional monitoring implemented thus far has had little
influence on increasing the teacher's teaching quality. Bechter et al. (2019) discovered
that students who were taught by teachers who participated in student-centered learning
Based on some of the findings of that research, it is possible to infer that many

Those who evaluate in the classroom include the Head Teacher, Master Teacher,
and Principal. The observations conducted at the School Division Office (SDO) level
techniques used by the supervisors are generally considered as good by the instructors.
Because observation offers such a thorough view and allows for the definition of highly
specific aims, it may also be used to help instructors if done effectively. Observation and
criticism are two distinct talents that require much practice and training (Tawalbeh,
2020). Through connection with their teachers, principals may focus instructional
improvement and convey their expectations for teachers. It is apparent that teacher-

Ethical Consideration
In order to assure that the study is carried out ethically, all participants, including
school heads and educators participating in the instructional supervision process, must
provide consent. This implies that individuals should be thoroughly informed about the
purpose of the study, procedures, and any potential risks or benefits. Participants must
realize that their participation is entirely voluntary and that they have the right to
secure any information that might possibly disclose the personal information of
individuals or institutions. It is critical for school heads and educators to have confidence
that their comments and performance assessments will be kept secret and will not
jeopardize their reputations. Move over, make certain that the study is conducted in a
transparent way with no influence on the final results. The primary purpose of the study
should be to assess the skills and abilities of school leaders in supervision before and
By addressing these ethical concerns, the research can contribute to the body of
knowledge in educational leadership while also protecting the rights and well-being of
the research's participants. Researcher must guarantee that their inquiries are conducted in
an ethical and honest manner. They must seek participants' informed permission, respect
their privacy, and avoid any injury or discomfort. They must also guarantee that their
