| Sumario: | This article focuses on the program of supervision growing in West Virginia. Among those problems which supervisors in West Virginia are thinking through together and with widening groups are the many phases in the development of continuous progress through the twelve-year program of public education which includes evaluation of teaching and learning situations; an adjusted reading program; the development of child study groups; pupil progress; problems in art, nutrition, and social living; meeting the need for trained supervisors. Growth in supervision came slowly. For perhaps ten years the major emphasis went to administrative problems. With no pre-service training program to provide candidates, superintendents chose supervisors from the ranks of good teachers and principals. In the areas and within counties and sections of counties groups are working on specifics in the implementation of a twelve-year program, with adjustment in reading receiving special emphasis. Local need and cooperative endeavor have shaped the beginnings of the development of supervision as a resource service in West Virginia.
