Whenever we come across the term pedagogic supervision in our country our minds goes to inspectors. We know pedagogic supervision is mostly done by inspectors but we should also bear in mind that principals and head teachers are also pedagogic inspectors in their various schools. The teacher’s duty as a curriculum implementer cannot be over emphasized and so this article is on Pedagogic supervision and curriculum implementation.  Our focus in this research will be based on the head teacher and teachers in some primary schools in Yaounde 3.
