Role of Headteachers as an Instructional Leader
To create a better grasp of the important concepts, topics, and difficulties in the area, this paper evaluates the current theoretical and empirical literature on the headteacher as an instructional leader. We investigated the role of the "headteacher as an instructional leader" in this study. We provided a working definition of instructional leaders, discussed the various roles played by headteachers in educational institutions, identified challenges faced by headteachers, identified gaps in current knowledge in the field, and analysed data collected from workshop participants from across Pakistan. A 19-item questionnaire was utilised as a data-gathering instrument. Analyses were carried out to understand more about the job of the headteacher and the obstacles that he or she faces. The paper concluded with recommendations to address the problems that headteachers encounter in order to improve their efficiency and effectiveness as instructional leaders.
