Abstract:

Teachers, as primary agents in educational delivery, provide critical perspectives on the effectiveness of school administrators’ leadership, particularly regarding support for instructional practices. This study assessed the instructional leadership skills of administrators in selected public schools in District II of Minglanilla, Cebu, employing a descriptive-correlational research design and an adapted questionnaire as the primary data collection instrument. The sample comprised 137 teacher respondents. Data analysis utilized percentage calculations for teacher performance ratings, while weighted mean scores assessed administrators’ instructional leadership skills in the domains of resource providers, instructional resources, communication, and visible leadership. Pearson product-moment correlation was applied to determine the relationship between administrators’ instructional leadership skills and teacher performance ratings. Results indicated that school administrators exhibit exemplary instructional leadership skills, with notable strengths in communication, which are significantly and positively associated with teachers’ outstanding performance. It is recommended that the proposed Instructional Leadership Plan framework be implemented to further enhance the leadership practices of the school administrators.
