However, the goal was to determine to what extent preschool teachers addressed literacy skills areas through classroom instructions. (Gischlar & Vesay 2014, p

Direct Instruction Another strategy that I would use to increase the social skills of children with ASD is direct instruction. In this approach, the focus should be on “task analysis”, a process in which social skills are divided into sub-steps and are taught gradually (Welton, Vakil, & Carasea, 2004). Some tools that might be useful for teachers to enhance social interactions are role-modeling games and puppet theatre in natural environment settings instead of a special education classroom (Welton

The instructional leader must be skillful, effective, and flexible with all instructional supervision strategies. An enlightened leader provides constructive feedbacks that improve instruction, and ultimately, student performance; and leads a team of educators to reach their highest potential.

After completing my clinical supervision project, I can reflect on multiple things I have learned about myself as a supervisor, including my approach to clinical supervision, my conference skills, and my strengths and weaknesses. I now recognize more than ever that effective supervisors must consistently self-assess their practice and make adjustments as necessary for continuous improvement, just as effective teachers do. Throughout the clinical supervision process, it became apparent that I
