Abstract—Teaching supervision is the supervision, evaluation and guidance of the educational teaching process and talent cultivation quality by teaching quality managers. As a core component and significant measure in the university quality assurance system, currently, there are a series of problems in university supervision work, such as an imperfect supervision mechanism, a lagging supervision concept, a single supervision method and an unbalanced structure of the supervision team, which have restricted the construction of the university quality assurance system. From the perspective of Total Quality Management (TQM), this paper first explores improvements in teaching supervision through four aspects: refining the teaching supervision system, updating supervisory concepts, innovating supervision methods, and building a diverse supervision team. These measures aim to enhance the working model of teaching supervision in higher education institutions, promote the optimization and upgrading of the quality assurance system, and support high-quality, connotative development. Furthermore, to further improve the effectiveness of supervisory teachers, evaluation indicators and criteria for “Exemplary Teaching Supervisors” have been developed across five dimensions: “Educational Theory Knowledge and Teaching Method Application”, “Effectiveness of Teaching Supervision”, “Professional Competence”, “Development and Innovation”, and “Recognition from Peers and Students”.
