مستخلص المنشور:
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the differentiated supervision initiative that was implemented in some Saudi
schools as a way for school leadership improvement. Four reports written by the supervisors of districts
participating in the initiative were qualitatively analyzed looking for their main themes. All reports agreed that the
model is effective and helps to improve the instruction and the school environment. There was also an agreement
that the model enhances the role of the supervisor in the instructional aspect of the schools’ daily life. According to
these reports, another advantage of the model was that it increased the ability of the supervisor to focus on a few
schools. Major weaknesses and barriers to its implementation were also identified
