A central office supervisor is responsible for the oversight of principals and teachers across the district. Their role is to meet with colleagues regularly, perform observations, and evaluate staff. They hold monthly meetings at various campuses to provide staff development and communicate the vision of the district. Supervisors actively participate in the school’s instructional programs and understand the needs of the diverse campuses. It is through their interactions with staff at each campus and conducting evaluations that they truly understand the needs of their district.
Their role includes leading teachers in instruction to make them as effective as possible. When making decisions they should consider teacher input, listen to and empathize with teachers concerning their problems, and effectively communicate.
Central office supervisors must also be able to respond to difficult situations and adapt to meet the needs of each individual campus. They need to be able to respond to problems according to the environment in which the situation arises, rather than see solutions as a one size fits all. Supervisors should be flexible when dealing with situations and should maintain a good relationship with their staff.
