Practices middle school principals in large school divisions located within the Commonwealth of Virginia employ during the supervisory process

The purpose of this study was to examine the practices middle school principals employed during the supervisory process. This qualitative research study examined the practices middle school principals followed during the pre-observation process, observation process, and post observation process. The study also detailed how the data collected from formal observations and classroom walk-through observations was utilized by middle school principals. Due to the increasing number of responsibilities and mounting pressure to provide quality teacher supervision, the practices employed by middle school principals during the supervisory process was an important topic in need of additional research.
