The study was a decriptive one and in the data analysis in addition to descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, and Chi-square were used. Supervisors indicated that the quality of teachers was the most important problem in the Turkish Education System; formal supervisor training would be appropriate; a compresensive and systematic training in guidance, communication and leadership was needed; they pervceived the importance of internet and communication technologies and need training in this area; they spent the majority of their time in activities other than teaching. Suggestions were made based on these findings.
