According to Jaiana and Whitford (2011) No Child Left Behind outlined a provision to acquire teachers of high quality to deliver instruction. Likewise, the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards contends the best way to improve schools and to impact student learning is to strengthen teaching. Successively, the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) was established in 1987 (NBPTS, 2013). The NBPTS is a nonprofit nonpartisan organization, with a 63 member board of directors, consisting mostly of teachers.

Supervision of teachers is a major responsibility for principals and it has a significant impact on school climate and student achievement.
