Principles and Techniques in Supervision of Teaching Practice Introduction: Supervising student teachers is an essential part of teacher preparation programs because of its profound impact on future educators' professional growth and effectiveness. The purpose of the supervisory process is to encourage self-reflection and development as a teacher by bringing together an experienced mentor or supervisor with a student teacher. Effective supervision promotes a positive feedback loop, allowing for introspection and open communication. It also encourages the growth of in-depth knowledge of educational theories, techniques, and instructional practices, which will be useful when student teachers enter the workforce.
Principles of Supervision 1. Clear Objective: Having well-defined goals provides both the supervisor and the educator with a clear sense of where they must go to succeed. Having well-defined goals also makes it easier for supervisors to give helpful feedback that may contribute to employees' development as teachers ( Waweru , 2004). When educators have clear expectations, they may evaluate their performance, adjust their methods of instruction, and more effectively help their students learn. 2. Collaborative Approach: By fostering an environment of open communication and mutual respect between the supervisor and the instructor, a collaborative approach helps to create a productive working relationship. A collaborative approach suggests that administrators and educators should collaborate instead than compete. Maintaining an open line of communication is essential to a collaborative approach. This way, managers may give employees feedback to help them develop and progress (Cooper and Donald 1996).

When offering direction and support, supervisors should consider a teacher's degree of expertise (Cooper and Donald 1996) . . Knowing a teacher's expertise allows administrators to give tailored assistance that encourages steady growth. When using the idea of individualization, it is also important to consider one's professional aspirations. 4. Professional Development: When teachers approach it as a chance for professional growth, it may help them learn new techniques, strengthen their students' abilities, and deepen their understanding of teaching and learning. To help teachers succeed, supervisors should provide them with the tools and direction they need to do their jobs. Supervisors may encourage teachers development via reflective conversations

Examining lesson plans allows administrators to determine whether there is congruence between learning goals, strategies, and evaluations (Cooper and Donald 1996) .

By analyzing these works, supervisors may learn a lot about their student's progress and the efficacy of their teaching methods. It also assess how well student projects correspond to course goals. This method is useful for helping supervisors zero in on classroom strengths and weaknesses. 5. Peer Collaboration Supervisors may provide an atmosphere where instructors can improve their craft via collaborative activities, including peer observation and criticism, co- planning and co-teaching, and exchanging tried-and-true methods. An important part of peer collaboration is exchanging information and opinions among peers. This method allows educators to see one another in the classroom and provide helpful comments and suggestions. Supervisors should play a pivotal role in encouraging teamwork among teachers.
Conclusion The ideas and procedures of supervision are critical in improving teaching practice and assuring educators' professional progress. Regarding supervision techniques, class observation enables supervisors to monitor instructors' teaching methods and offer real-time comments directly. Reflective dialogue encourages meaningful and productive dialogues between administrators and teachers, promoting greater self-reflection and collaborative problem-solving
