The conceptual framework developed on the “Model of Supervisory Practice” by Pajak (1990); meanwhile, combined with Chinese national conditions. 175 managers and 327 teachers participated in the survey randomly, then, the primary data were analyzed by professional statistic research methods. The research results are as following: Firstly, the overall level of supervision practices by managers’ viewpoint (mean = 4.129) and teachers’ viewpoint (mean = 3.586) is at high level (mean = 3.41—4.20). Secondly, based on the dimension of instructional programs (t = 2.323, p = 0.021), the mean score of younger managers is higher than older managers significantly. Thirdly, among dimensions of communication (t = 2.140, p = 0.033), staff development (t = 2.415, p = 0.017), motivating & organizing (t = 2.271, p = 0.024) and curriculum (t = 2.407, p = 0.017), inexperienced teachers have higher mean scores than experienced teachers significantly.
