ABSTRACT: Even though teacher supervision is an everyday practice in schools there is little known about its effect on teachers professional growth. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of supervision on teachers professional growth from the principals perspective. Ten High School Principals were interviewed in a semi-structured, open-ended interview format. Results indicated that the Principals felt that supervision can have an impact on teachers professional growth, but the level to which is dependent on the type of supervision model used. The majority of Principals felt that the Walkthrough model is the most effective method in helping teachers focus on instruction
