Hello dear colleagues,
It is a privilege to write to you to seek for assistance. I wish to be advised on a theory. My research topic is "Instructional supervision in developing teachers' competence''. I am considering how supervisory strategies such as classroom observation, collaborative learning, monitoring, coaching and in-service training contribute to develop teachers' competence( Knowledge and skills).
I am asked to find a theory on competence, mentorship, supervision, etc. i have proposed several which i was told don't fit.
Your recommendations will be of a great help to me.
Thank you for your kind attention.

Hi.I think choice theory of Glaser. I'm a reality therapist
I would only suggest that you exercise caution in the approach you are taking. Generally, from a philosophy of science perspective, one would not have a set of pathways to test and then look for a set of theories to fit. Rather, an a priori theory should guide which pathways and variables you test.
My suggestion is to examine the Models of supervision by Corey et al. (2010).
Clinical supervision in the helping professions: A practical guide, (2nd ed.). Alexandria, VA. I think you will find an applicable theory from there.
I'd be interested to know what theories were rejected - those that you have already proposed.
