Abstract

This conceptual paper is meant to be a discussion on the role of Instructional Leadership for Heads of Subjects as middle management in the planning, organizing, controlling and implementing quality educational programs in Schools. An effective teaching occurs when students do enjoy their lessons which impact their academic achievement. As a result, there is a positive relationship between the Instructional Leadership to quality Effective Teaching practices. On the other hand, a majority of the Instructional Leadership in improving the performance in schools have been done mainly on the Principals and the School Headmasters respectively. Actually, all individuals who are Teaching Leaders should be practicing Instructional Leadership. Hence, this concept paper is intended to identify the role of Instructional Leadership for Heads of Subjects in relation to Effective Teachings. The theoretical discussions are models taken from the Instructional Leadership Hallinger and Murphy (1995) and Effective Instructional Slavin (1994). Past findings have shown that the Instructional Leadership factor has a positively significant relationship with Effective Teaching Practices and generally, having Instructional leadership does have an influence to Effective Teaching practices. Thus, its implication to the Meanistry of Education, State Education Department, District Education Office and Schools is to ensure that Instructional Leadership and Effective Teaching norms are being put into practice by the Heads of Subjects and their teachers. In conclusion, it is strongly asserted that Instructional Leadership can greatly influence the role of Heads of Subjects as Instructional Leaders in achieving highly quality Teaching practices.
