It draws special focus on the social or community climate which deals with the interpersonal relationship among key players in the school system such as school administrators, learners, support staff, teachers and other stakeholders as they relate to the teacher to enhance effective instructional delivery. The papers points out among others harmonious relationship, respect for the worth of the teacher, teacher's motivation, recognizing students role in class, attention, recognition of uniqueness of individuals as critical social factors that create favourable environment for effective instructional delivery. The paper concludes that although the teacher is directly involved in instructional delivery, the actions or inactions of other members of the school community can affect his operations, and that job satisfaction and overall attainment of educational goals are products of conducive community climate. It was recommended that educational policies, administrative leadership, school rules and regulations among others should be tailored towards enhancing strong bond among players in the school system.
