Abstract:
One of the greatest challenges facing global institutions is the need for instructional leadership. Thus, this research paper examines to assess the instructional leadership capabilities of private secondary school principals in Butuan City, as well as determines the relationship between the principal's profile, and their instructional leadership, and suggests a program to improve instructional leadership. The hypothesis was there is no significant association between the profile of the principals and their level of instructional leadership. It used a quantitative research approach. There were 13 principals and 74 teachers who were picked randomly as responses. It employed two survey questionnaires: the first was completed by the principal and asked about the principals' age, gender, educational level, and related training; the second was completed by the teachers and asked about the principal's level of instructional leadership in terms of overseeing the function of producing instruction, fostering an academic learning environment, and creating a supportive work environment. Results showed that the profile of the principals did not demonstrate a significant association with their instructional leadership. The researcher concluded that other elements impacting the principal's instructional leadership, such as how the principal executes school regulations and standards, may affect the principal's instructional leadership to a greater or lesser extent depending on the faculty member. A program for improving instructional leadership was being considered.
