 Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine the existing perceptions and preferences of teachers
toward instructional supervision, more specifically on the actual and ideal use of selected
instructional supervisory approaches (such as clinical supervision, peer coaching, cognitive
coaching, mentoring, reflective coaching, teaching portfolios, and professional growth plans) in
secondary schools of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. It also seeks to explore if there are differences
between beginning and experienced teachers in their attitudes toward and satisfaction with
supervisory practices and (possible) relationships with perceived professional development.

Summary of Findings
No significant differences were found between beginners and experienced teachers in perception
of the actual use of selected supervisory practices, namely clinical supervision, peer coaching,
cognitive coaching, mentoring, and professional growth plans. However, it was found that
beginner teachers prefer the use of mentoring and portfolios more than experienced teachers.
Furthermore, there is no difference between beginner and experienced teachers in their attitudes
toward and satisfaction with supervisory processes practiced at their schools.

Recommendations
First, instructional supervision needs to be a priority in schools and given enough time so that
improvement in instruction can occur. Second, supervisory practices should be clearly outlined
in the school policies, providing (beginner and experienced) teachers with the options of
choosing among different types. Third, further research
