Abstract
The objective of the study was to assess what the practice of school-based supervision looks like in practice in government secondary schools, of Bole Sub-city in Addis Ababa. In this study, descriptive research method, with both quantitative and qualitative way of studying approaches was used. The data were gathered from primary sources to accomplish the study. To get reliable and valid information and to draw sound conclusion. Totally, 547 teachers were found in the sampled government secondary schools and 42.4% (n=232) of them were selected as sample for the study using simple random sampling technique. Regarding education leaders, each secondary school had one principal, three vice-principals, four cluster high school supervisors, and total number of six principals, eighteen vice-principals, fourteen high school cluster supervisors and three from the Sub-city experts were selected based on the nature of their job . The data were analyzed using descriptive method with SPSS, that is mean and standard deviation. As the finding shows that there is no problem of familiarity with the term or the concept of school-based supervision, which means they were almost all familiar to the term or phrase. Whereas regarding its practice, orientation or refreshment training was not given twice in a year or at least once in a year on school-based supervision for teachers, directors and supervisors and as a result lack of awareness about significance of school-based supervision and how it can be implemented in their context in general and practical skills of conducting class room or instructional supervision in particular. Hence, one can conclude that school-based supervision was not properly coordinated and practiced in those schools on the basis of the standard. Thus, the Addis Ababa Education Bureau and Bole Sub-city education officers are advised to create awareness and give training on practical basis about significance of supervision and how it shall be done scientifically as a whole at different levels in different forms as like instructional, administrative etc.
