Abstract
Monitoring and supervision of the performance of school heads are needed to keep school operations on the right track. Without timely feedback and regular assessment, the school heads might derail educational processes putting the students, teachers, and the whole school operation in peril. But the pandemic made face-to-face supervision difficult. Hence, the researcher developed the Electronic Structured Work Accomplishment-Based (e-SWAB) Tool in intensifying the instructional supervision among the school heads in Palapag II District. Through reactive and practical action research models and the mixed methods concurrent embedded research design, performance ratings, and semi-structured interviews were used to gather data. The analysis included descriptive statistics, Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test, and thematic analysis. Results indicated a small significant difference in the ratings before and after e-SWAB was used. To corroborate this, the testimonies of the school heads revealed that the intervention streamlined the supervision process as it was a time-saving assessment tool, suitable to the new normal setting, easy to use, and requires less mobility. Indeed, providing a system facilitates supervision processes in the new normal setting. It is recommended that the system is used by the district heads across the whole Division of Northern Samar.
