Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the findings and quantitative data were analyzed by SPSS version 22.
Results
The findings revealed a strong positive significant relationship between head teachers’ supervision and teachers’ classroom Instruction and management (r=0.553). This was reflected by a correlation that is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed). 0.01 level (2-tailed).
Conclusion
The findings reflect that head teachers’ support supervision influences teachers to track teachers' lesson plans daily and give constructive feedback; to ensure that schemes of work and lesson plans are approved before the teaching and learning process; and that required scholastic materials are provided, all the teachable units for every class and term are schemed as a way of monitoring syllabus coverage, required learning aids are provided.
Recommendation

This should be emphasized during appraisal sessions to help improve teacher effectiveness and hence student learning. There is a need to ensure that teachers are always supervised daily to instill commitment and hard work which would in turn lead to improved teachers’ performance in primary schools.
