Finding of the study was: the role of principals’ instructional supervision has influence on students’ academic achievement. Conclusion of the study shows that when the role of principal increases, student achievement also increases. If the role of principal decreases, student achievement decreases. Thus, achievement is dependent variable and principals’ role is independent variable. Knowledge gravity is mind of the students and students are academic beneficiary of the curriculum. Again, principal is a center of experience but not source of experience this shows a principal gathers experience from teachers and shares to teachers. In addition of this, supervision is not the end of principals’ role rather it is a means to student achievement. Thus, student employment is outcome of supervisory role. Challenges released by respondents as examples were: administrative supervision and instructional supervision were conducted in once period of supervising time as mixed work and complex to give feedback for those together. Recommendation about the problem was; instructional supervision should be separated from administrative task during academic supervisor to give sufficient feedback to teachers to share best experience conducting individual and collective feedback using the role of principals focusing on students’ academic achievement. Again, individual feedback of teachers can minimize supervision resistance than giving collective post supervision feedback.Item ASSESSMENT OF THE PRACTICE OF INSTRUCTIONAL LEADERSHIP IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS OF NORTH WESTERN ZONE OF TIGRAY, ETHIOPIA(Mekelle University, 2024-09-25) Gebrewahd AbrhaThe purpose of this study is to assess the practice of instructional leadership in secondary schools of North western zone of Tigray.
