Definition of Leadership
Instructional leadership can be defined as those direct and indirect actions taken or delegated to promote the growth of student learning. Typically, the direct functions or tasks involved in instructional leadership include communicating purposes, establishing vision and mission, clarifying goals, setting standards, monitoring students and teacher performance, recognizing and rewarding good work, providing staff development, offering technical assistance, implementing programs of known effectiveness, obtaining resources for learning, planning curriculum, and organizing for instruction. Indirect activities include establishing the physical and cultural context for instruction, developing leadership in others, acquiring resources, and maintaining the system (Wood, 2003).
