The Influence of Leadership Skills and Instructional Supervision on Quality Instruction in Non-Formal Education

The study endeavored to explore the influence of leadership skills and instructional supervision on quality instruction in non-formal education in Region XI. The quantitative component utilized survey questionnaires administered to 307 Alternative Learning System participants. The quantitative component utilized a descriptive, correlation (Pearson) and Structural Equation Modeling (Confirmatory Factor Analysis) as it aimed to test the theory. This study finds that teachers highly value the leadership and instructional supervision skills of school leaders, which significantly enhance teaching engagement and student empowerment for quality instruction. Investing in leadership development programs and training focused on instructional supervision lead to significant improvements in the quality of instruction. This suggests that the Department of Education should prioritize and allocate resources to strengthen the leadership capabilities in areas of curriculum implementation, teacher mentoring, and performance evaluation, to maximize the effectiveness of non-formal education programs.
