Leading practices of school principals to overcome obstacles in pedagogical supervision
Pedagogical supervision as part of the teaching quality is a challenge for school administrators, responsible for educational management. In this regard, in this collaborative research, 21 school principals shared their leading practices to overcome the obstacles in pedagogical supervision. We classified each type of obstacles by the Ministry of Education, Recreation and Sports (2008) repository. From a sharing of expertise during 10 meetings in focus groups, two groups of practitioners and researchers have identified leading practices to overcome each of these obstacles. The participants of this study mainly identified collaborative structures in terms of leading practices and implications of individual pedagogical support such obstacles. Moreover, accountability policies appear both as control tools and levers for pedagogical supervision.
