Most educators would agree that the most important job of
a school leader is providing instructional leadership that results in
improved student learning. Effective
instructional leaders possess knowledge and skills in three major
areas: 1) curriculum - articulation of what students are
expected to know and be able to do, 2) instruction - a variety of age-appropriate input experiences that teachers
orchestrate in order for students to learn the curriculum to meet a
desired standard, and 3) assessments - a variety
of measures to determine the degree to which students learned what
they were taught.
The Instructional Leadership Academy focuses
primarily on
the “instruction” side of the triangle and includes three
segments: 1) learning to identify, label, and explain the major
elements of effective instruction based on brain research and learning
theory, 2)
learning to analyze
classroom instruction and conduct developmentally appropriate
instructional conference for the purpose of increasing teacher
effectiveness, and 3) learning a variety of performance evaluation
strategies.
