• Differentiated Instruction Management for Enhancing Student Well-Being in Unggulan Aisyiyah Bantul Primary School (2026) · Jurnal VARIDIKA · doi

  Instructional supervision includes evaluating the learning process, measuring outcomes, and managing practices aligned with learning goals. School leaders are responsible for conducting regular monitoring, supervision, and evaluation through observation, reporting, and continuous follow-up. Principals are tasked with overseeing all instructional activities and ensuring optimal service delivery (Rahmawati & Puspita, 2020). At Unggulan Aisyiyah, supervision of differentiated instruction is carried out by the principal through assessment analysis, teacher supervision, and evaluations of overall implementation. Formative and summative assessments are used to inform instruction and evaluate achievement (Ginanto et al., 2024). Post-lesson reflection allows students to recognize their strengths and identify areas for growth (Shimizu & Kang, 2022; Wang & Loughland, 2025). Supervision is conducted using coaching and counseling approaches to improve instructional quality, including mentoring, classroom observation, and collaborative lesson planning (Shimizu & Kang, 2022; Wang & Loughland, 2025). This aligns with the principal's role in providing feedback for continuous improvement (Acton, 2020). The impact of differentiated instruction at this school includes meeting students’ individual needs, enhancing student well-being, and improving academic achievement (Labordo, 2024; Pozas et al., 2021). This approach effectively addresses diverse learner profiles and supports students in reaching their potential. However, challenges persist—such as limited teacher capacity, broad curriculum coverage, time constraints, and the absence of professional psychological support for thorough student profiling. To improve implementation, several recommendations are proposed: the development of clear guidelines, sustained expert mentoring, and professional development programs to enhance teacher competencies. These findings culminate in a differentiated instruction model aimed at promoting student wellbeing. Effective management of four key components—planning, organizing, implementation, and supervision—is essential for achieving this goal. Key elements of differentiated instruction management include (1) identifying student needs and applying team teaching; (2) organizing students and creating a positive learning environment; (3) employing various instructional methods and learning resources; and (4) conducting coaching- and mentoring-based supervision. This approach significantly contributes to promoting student well-being through structured and purposeful learning. To address these challenges, recommendations must extend beyond general calls for continuous mentoring.
