- 2. EFFECTIVE Accomplishing set goals/objective Effectiveness is about doing the right task, completing activities and achieving goals.
- 3. Supervision means to direct, oversee, guide or to make sure that expected standards are met.Thus, supervision implies the process of ensuring that principles, rules, regulations and methods prescribed for purposes of implementing and achieving objectives are effectively carried out. Supervision therefore involves the use of expert knowledge and experiences to oversee, evaluate and coordinate the process of improving an organisation.
- 7. Supervision is necessary because: 1. Not all teachers are dynamic and knowledgeable but the system is dynamic. This means that supervision is necessary so as to enable these categories of staff. 2. Staff need to be skilled and up to date in their profession and this can only be achieved when they are supervised regularly and effectively in order to enhance good relationship between supervisors and teachers.

- 28. 7 SKILLS FOR SUPERVISION SUCCESS
- 29. Let me make one other thing clear: all of these skills are simple and basic. For some of these, you’re going to think “Obviously – of course that’s what a supervisor should do.” However, just because they are simple does not mean they are EASY. If they were, everyone would be an amazing supervisor.
- 30. 1. Listening –This one is simple right? Well as I said before, simple and easy are not the same things. Try this: the next time you’re talking to someone, try forcing yourself not to speak for 2 full minutes. Really listen to what the person is saying.You will know how difficult it is for you to stay quiet. 2. Availability – Availability can mean a lot of things, both tangible and intangible. On the tangible side, it means being physically present at work and in the office/designated space. Of course, you’re not going to be at your desk every second of the day, but hiding away all day or by taking too many off-duty excuses isn’t productive. On the more intangible side, availability means being mentally present and available – and being clear about when you can’t be. If you are under a lot of stress in meeting deadlines, you need to let your supervisees know that you won’t be able to help them think through a challenge. But don’t let the ‘can’t’ times take over the ‘can’ times or you’ll create problems.
- 31. 3. Mission-focused/priority-setting – Here is what priority setting comes down to: Figure out what is most important. Do that first. It is that simple and that difficult. We are mission-focused organizations and everything we do, everyday, should help us achieve that mission. 4. Transparency – Not every decision needs a full, 360 degree explanation, but lots of secrecy is frustrating and ultimately dis- empowering to those you supervise. Being transparent also means admitting when you’re wrong or when you don’t know the answer. No one is perfect and if you constantly try to hide behind a perfect image, the downfall will be that much harder.
- 32. 5. Delegation – Delegation is arguably the hardest of these skills to learn and perfect. Delegation basically means transferring decision-making authority to another employee for a task not necessarily within one’s job description while still retaining ultimate responsibility for the task.There are three key pieces of this: Responsibility – setting clear expectations, but not step-by-step instructions on how something should be done Authority – the delegatee is given the right to make decisions Accountability – delegatee is responsible for the work, but delegator has ultimate responsibility 6. Taking Responsibility and Giving Credit –When you delegate authority, you are responsible for what your supervisee does.You must take responsibility for the mistakes. BUT – you must also give credit for the good things.
- 33. 7. Realism – Again, simple: DO NOT make commitments that you and your staff can’t keep. Promising the world to a funder, sponsor or partner does no one any good – especially if you can’t deliver. Putting that extra pressure on your employees (not to mention yourself) just creates all kind of unnecessary stress.You also need to be realistic about what you can do as a supervisor – don’t be a bottleneck. Supervisory skills are an integral factor in how well a manager relates to his employees. If misunderstandings, tardiness, absenteeism, missed deadlines or shoddy work are plaguing your department/unit/organisation, then it might be time to reassess how well you relate to your workers and change your focus to improving your supervisory skills so that your employees can be productive and feel good about their work experience with you.
