Abstract

This study aimed to identify the prevalent supervisory practices of school heads in the Mobo South District, Masbate, Philippines, assess their level of implementation, and determine the assistance provided to teachers in instructional activities. Utilizing a descriptive-quantitative method, data was analyzed using frequency counts, percentages, and weighted means. A Likert-type five-point scale facilitated descriptive interpretation, and a questionnaire-checklist was distributed to 118 teachers in selected schools. The analysis identified ten common supervisory practices in the district: daily attendance checks for students and staff, updating classroom displays and bulletin boards, proper waste segregation, conducting quarterly general assemblies on learner progress, disseminating school policies and programs, encouraging parental involvement, organizing functional Parent-Teacher Associations, promoting teacher participation in community and district activities, assisting with INSET, SLAC, DISLAC, and other DepEd training, and ensuring the safety of students and staff. School heads' supervisory practices were rated as "Practiced." Most respondents noted that school heads provided significant assistance, particularly in interventions for non-reader pupils and conducting literacy and numeracy validation. This highlights the need for school heads to continue their professional development and consistently implement their supervisory roles. They should also maintain support for teachers in reducing the number of non-reader pupils and enhancing reading skills. The study recommends that school heads consistently practice various supervisory tasks to foster a successful school environment and ensure quality learning. The Public Schools District Supervisory should assess these practices for evaluating school head performance, and the Department of Education should adopt these supervisory practices as benchmarks.
