The levels of instructional supervisory competencies of the master teachers were significantly correlated as assessed by the master teachers themselves and by the teachers in terms of learning environment, diversity of learners and assessment and reporting. There was no significant relationship on the level of supervisory competencies of the master teachers in terms of their profile. The majority of the master teachers are in favor of having an enhanced continuous personal and professional development program. The study recommended that master teachers and aspiring master teachers must be required to finish post graduate studies. Master teachers must acquire experience and attend seminars, workshops, and meetings which are relevant to their supervisory work. They should continue updating themselves on current trends, especially in the field of education. Master teachers must be capacitated on the performance of their duties and responsibilities, on enhancing their instructional supervisory competencies, and on administrative functions that they are directly performing in school. An ongoing personal and professional development and training program for master teachers on supervisory competencies and practices should be a priority area to prepare and train future effective and efficient master teachers. Master teachers need to be engaged in a professional learning community to enhance their competence as instructional leaders and discuss concerns related to their duties and responsibilities.
