The purpose of this investigator's study was to ascertain the critical compentencies needed by instructional supervisors as perceived by selected school personnel in Florida. A secondary purpose was to determine the competencies needing to be emphasized by Florida School District supervisors in order to perform effectively on the job. / A list of competency statements was identified through the review of the literature: (1) on the role of expectations of supervision, (2) role of the supervisor in Florida, (3) development and identification of leadership competencies, (4) studies related to impact legislation, (5) Florida legislation passed 1967-1984 and (6) question-answer responses acquired from administrative-supervisory personnel concerning legislation affecting the instructional program in schools. / There were 120 instruments (response sheets) distributed to the outside panel members comprised of a variety of supervisory job titles. These were made up from the State Department of Education consultants, university professors, district administrative/supervisory personnel and Teacher Education Center and inservice staff development directors. / The outside panel of respondents was asked to evaluate and rank order the 73 competency statements on a two-column scale. / A taxonomy was used to classify the competency statements. This included Critical Functions and Supervisory Domains. / Of the seventy-three competencies, the data revealed that sixty-nine were accepted on the evaluation scale and sixty-seven on the rank order scale. Among the sixty-nine competencies accepted, 8 out of 23 or 49 percent were evaluated in the I - Conceptual Function cluster as "always necessary." Of the sixty-seven competencies "always needing emphasized" 9 out of 23 or 39 percent were in the I - Conceptual Function cluster. It may be concluded that such a small number is not significant enough to show any overall differences in the evaluation of the competencies being necessary as opposed to the rank order of these competencies being emphasized for Florida instructional supervisory personnel job performance. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 46-01, Section: A, page: 0058. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1984.
