This research examined administrators' demonstration supervisory skill and teachers' job performance in secondary schools in Ibadan North Local Government Area of Oyo State. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design with the use of questionnaire tagged: “Administrators Demonstration Supervisory Skill, Teachers’ Lesson Delivery and Classroom Organisation Performance Questionnaire (ADSSTLDCOPQ)†as the primary instrument for data collection. Drawing on simple random and proportionate to size sampling techniques, data were collected from 389 teachers in 17 public secondary schools in Ibadan North local government area. Data gathered were analysed using a combination of descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. Findings revealed a high level of administrators’ demonstration supervisory skill for teachers’ lesson delivery (x̅ = 2.565) but low level of administrators’ demonstration supervisory skill for teachers’ classroom organisation (x̅ = 2.472). There was a positive significant relationship between administrators' demonstration supervisory skill and teachers’ lesson delivery performance (r = .446, sig. = .025, P<0.05) but a negative significant relationship between administrators' demonstration supervisory skill and teachers’ classroom organisation performance (r = -.312, sig. = .046, P<0.05). It was recommended among others that school administrators should carry out regular demonstration supervision to show the teachers how to properly deliver their instruction and organise the classroom for better engagement of the students.
