The purpose of this study was to determine the critical competencies needed by Georgia instructional supervisors in performing effectively on the job; to validate such competencies by ratings by selected supervisory personnel; and to prioritize those competencies as to their importance for emphasis based upon the consensus of selected administrative and instructional supervisory personnel in Georgia school districts. / A review of literature, recent legislative mandates, and Georgia State Board of Education policies was made. A compilation of selected competencies emerged. A competency identification process required the submission of the statements to an outside jury for validation. A response instrument enabled the respondents to evaluate and rank each competency statement on a Likert scale of 1-5 (one, high; five, low). A taxonomy category was used to classify each competency statement. / The sample for this study included eighty-eight supervisors who worked in the Georgia Department of Education and three consortia in Georgia school districts: Cooperative Education Service Agencies (CESA); Georgia Learning Resource Systems (GLRS); and The Psychoeducational Network for the Severely Emotionally Disturbed Child (SED). / An analysis of the data resulted in the following findings: (1) Of the thirty-six accepted competencies rated as needing emphasis by the outside jury, twenty were directly related to Georgia legislation and Department of Education policies. (2) Among the twenty competencies relating to Georgia legislation and department of education policies, there were six in the affective domain, four in the knowledge domain, and ten in the performance domain. (3) The outside jury members who participated in the study validated more competencies in the performance domain as opposed to competencies in the affective and knowledge domains. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 43-07, Section: A, page: 2182. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1982.
