IMPROVING SCHOOL LEADERSHIP IN SAUDI ARABIA
ID  - iab_repo479
N2  - The purpose of this study is to evaluate the differentiated supervision initiative that
was implemented in some Saudi schools as a way for school leadership improvement.
Four reports written by the supervisors of districts participating in the initiative were
qualitatively analyzed looking for their main themes. All reports agreed that the
model is effective and helps to improve instruction and the school environment. There
was also agreement that the model enhanced the role of the supervisor in the
instructional aspect of the schools? daily life. According to these reports, another
advantage of the model was that it increased the ability of the supervisor to focus on
a few schools. Major weaknesses and barriers to its implementation were also
identified.
