The responsibilities of being a school leader, principal, or assistant principal are varied and different, but all important, nonetheless. Not all that long ago, my assistant principal and I lamented that we spent too much time on school management matters and not enough time engaged in instructional leadership. We were bogged down with investigations, policies, protocols, etc. We realized we needed to know how much time in our workday was spent in each school leadership domain.

AWSP is helping recruit participants for a doctoral research study titled, “An Exploration of Methods for Promoting Student Performance Used by Transformational Leaders and Instructional Leaders.” The research will explore the methods of principals, who self-identify as transformational leaders and/or instructional leaders, used to promote high student achievement.
