In an effort to enhance the quality of its teachers, Al Siddiq International Primary School conducted a teacher performance supervision programme from 23 September to 4 October 2024. The activity focused particularly on new teachers, with a total of 18 participants. The supervision process took place over approximately two weeks and involved Ms. Reni Oktavia, S.Si., M.Pd., the Principal of Al Siddiq International Primary School, and Ustadz Abdullah Haris, Lc., M.Pd., the Director of Education at Al Siddiq International School.
Teacher performance and quality were assessed through a process known as supervision. Teacher supervision is a process of observation, evaluation, and guidance carried out by the school principal or educational supervisor to ensure that teachers perform their duties and responsibilities effectively in the classroom. The purpose of supervision is to provide constructive feedback to teachers on their teaching performance and to help them develop the skills and competencies needed to create effective learning experiences. Supervision is not merely administrative but also educational and supportive in nature. It involves open dialogue and collaboration between the supervisor and the teacher to improve teaching quality, which ultimately contributes to the enhancement of overall education standards in the school.
In classroom practice, there are several teaching criteria that teachers must fulfil during lessons, such as planning lessons systematically and clearly, mastering and delivering the subject matter effectively, maintaining discipline and managing the class with high competence, conducting mid-session evaluations, and integrating Al-Qur’an internalisation as part of each lesson.
Upon completing the supervision activities, Ms. Reni Oktavia, S.Si., M.Pd., the Principal of Al Siddiq International Primary School, expressed her appreciation:
“Alhamdulillah, the teacher supervision process went well. I hope our teachers at Al Siddiq International Primary School remain consistent in doing their best during the teaching and learning process in the classroom.”
With structured and well-directed supervision, it is expected that all teachers at Al Siddiq International Primary School will continue to grow into high-quality educators, ensuring continuous improvement in the quality of teaching and learning.
