Effective Supervision Keeping employees happy and productive requires that you pay attention to employee engagement and take steps to foster teamwork. One critical ingredient to supervising effectively is understanding the culture of the organization in which you work. Demonstrate an understanding of the developmental stages teachers and supervisors progress through. It takes time and experience to develop into an exceptional teacher and supervisor. For this assignment, interview at least 3 early education teachers and 2 early education supervisors/directors. In these interviews, ask about what characteristics each person thinks are important for effective supervision and how they think supervisors learn and develop these skills. Also ask about their current experiences either with a supervisor or as a supervisor and how long the supervisor has been in a supervisory position
