THE ROLES OF SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS IN EDUCATIONAL SUPERVISION

Abstract

Education plays a crucial role in the development of a nation. The development of the nation's education is a primary mission in human development, serving as the foundation for national development across all systems. The government has the responsibility to manage, regulate, promote, and support the provision of quality education to international standards. This includes fostering an environment conducive to learning, providing resources for teaching and learning, and facilitating convenience to ensure effective learning. Ensuring quality education management in educational institutions requires the simultaneous development of processes in three areas: administration, teaching and learning, and educational supervision. Educational Supervision is one way to improve the quality of education, aiming to enhance teaching effectiveness and prioritize students' learning outcomes. Thus, one significant duty of educational administrators is educational leadership, which aids in enhancing the quality of education, addressing academic deficiencies, and promoting effective teaching and learning. The roles of school administrators in educational supervision include: 1) Supporting and Developing Teachers: Educational administrators must support and assist in the professional development of teachers through counseling, training, or academic support to ensure teachers understand and effectively implement the curriculum. 2) Curriculum Implementation: Educational administrators must continuously oversee the implementation of the curriculum to ensure teachers correctly understand and apply it in teaching. This involves providing guidance and appropriate support. 3) Teaching Management: Educational administrators must lead in teaching management by supporting teachers in systematic curriculum-based teaching activities, quality control of teaching, assessing learning outcomes, and improving teaching effectiveness. 4) Promotion and Support: Educational administrators must promote and support the abilities and job satisfaction of staff and create a conducive working environment. Therefore, the role of educational administrators in educational supervision is crucial as it impacts the development of educational institutions, teacher development, and the quality of student learning.
