Instructional Leadership
What did the author say?
Halverson, Grigg, Prichett & Thomas (2005) propose in their article, presented before the National Council of Professors Educational Administration, a new analytic framework for understanding instructional leadership. The authors propose that educational leadership is a dynamic process, one that cannot be manipulated through one answer alone. Rather, the authors propose that education is as dynamic as the world itself. Students are diverse. They require complex systems because they are complex systems. The authors consider how leaders in the educational system work with teachers to build data-driven instructional systems or DDIS; they do this as proposed by the authors, by creating programs that use existing school functions and activities. In doing so, information flow is promoted throughout the school.
What does the author mean?
The authors suggest that the flow of information is vital to student achievement. In the past random acts were used to measure student achievement including "ceaseless scrutinizing of tests, quizzes and writing samples." These were used to evaluate what students did not know. A better approach however, may be to assess what children do know. Many schools are beginning to understand what factors are more critical to analyze including attendance, how valuable small class size is, and the value of community outreach programs. Community outreach programs are invaluable to schools. As the authors point out, data-drive leadership is a new approach that doesn't require simply the use of data; rather it is a "challenge for leaders to reshape central practices and cultures in school, to act intentionally to new kinds of problems."

Most conclusions on this approach were vague or indecisive in terms of social, psychological or mental significance (Rice, 1978, 1981; Graen et al., 1972; Ashour, 1973). Furthermore, over the years, many scholars have come to the realization that leadership is situational and hence there are many realistic settings like the environment, the employees, the resources, etc. that determine the characteristics needed in a leader as well as his/her business approach

Wondering what to do the articles tells that the study of David Pearson entitled "What Research Has to Say to the Teaching of Reading published by the International Association 1992 was the "most compelling research available."

Negative feedbacks and criticisms cannot be avoided at this point, especially upon knowing that it is necessary for them to undergo training on how this program will be implemented, including its advantages for them as teachers.
