services. A core of non-teaching staff shall handle the school’s administrative, fiscal and

2. Creating an environment within the school that is conducive to teaching and learning;
3. Implementing the school curriculum and being accountable for higher learning
outcomes;
7. Administering and managing all personnel, physical and fiscal resources of the school;
10. Establishing school and community network and encouraging the active participation
of teachers organizations, non-academic personnel of public schools, and parents-teachers-

What are the Roles of Instructional Leaders?
1. Leadership has significant effects on student learning, second only to the effects of the
quality of curriculum and teachers’ instruction.
2. Currently, administrators and teacher leaders provide most of the leadership in schools,
but other potential sources of leadership exist.
3. A core set of leadership practices from the “Basics” of successful leadership and are
valuable in almost all educational contexts.
“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are
a leader.”
