Abstract
Among general supervisors of elementary schools there is a difference of opinion as to the needs of teachers torsupervisory services. The majority of opinions have been based upon personal observation and a background of experience in working with teachers. Only in a few instances have surveys of teachers been conducted to determine their needs. Such surveys are of great value to the particular location in which they are conducted, but can be used only as a guide for the needs of teachers in Placer County. To determine the needs of teachers for supervisory services from the county office, a survey of teacher needs ·was undertaken. From the findings of this survey a supervisory program of leadership in which the needs, as expressed by the teachers, can be planned. The purpose of this study is twofold: (1) to determine the needs of teachers in Placer County for supervisory services; and (2) to determine how these needs can be met through supervisory leadership
