Abstract
In Uganda, the Ministry of Education and Sports (MOES) designed a Teacher Supervision Tool in 2017, intending to standardize support supervision in schools. This study aimed at assessing the utilization of Teacher Supervision Tool in secondary schools and its effect on teachers’ effectiveness in the Rukungiri District and was based on the Marzano Teacher Focused Model. Mixed methods research design was applied that involved qualitative and quantitative methods. From the study population of 750, a sample size of 255 was derived using random and purposive methods. The study established that frequency of support supervision has positively affected teachers’ effectiveness in the Rukungiri district. One sample T- test results at a 95% level of confidence revealed a p- value of 0.00 (<0.05) showing a significant difference between support supervision and teachers’ effectiveness. It was also found out that teacher appraisal positively affects teachers’ effectiveness and this has been through mentorship, time management, collaborative teaching, and professional growth. The study recommends facilitation of schools in terms of supply of Teacher supervision tool (TST) templates and stationery to augment supervision, and vigilance in the Ministry of Education and Sports and governing bodies in ensuring regular submission of supervision reports.
