Demographic Profile, School Heads’ Supervisory Practices, and Teachers’ Performance: Towards Corresponding Intervention Program

Abstract

This study examines the demographic profile of secondary school heads and secondary teachers, school heads' supervisory practices, and teachers' performance in the Schools Division of Romblon. The research highlights significant findings by focusing on instructional leadership, learning environment, human resource management, and school leadership. Predominantly male, aged 40-49, and married, most school heads hold principal positions, have extensive experience, and have pursued higher education. The teaching workforce, mainly female and young, shows outstanding performance in content knowledge, pedagogy, and creating inclusive learning environments. Significant relationships were found between the supervisory practices of secondary school heads and teachers’ performance. The study suggests diversified leadership roles, enhanced training for school heads in instructional leadership, and continuous professional development for teachers to maintain high-performance standards. Implementing mentorship programs and collaborative learning communities can further support these efforts. The findings underscore the need for tailored interventions to enhance educational leadership and teacher performance, ultimately improving student outcomes. Future research should include broader samples and qualitative methods to deepen understanding of supervision practices and their impact on teacher performance.
