1. Instructional Leadership

Instructional leadership is most commonly associated with school principals who manage curriculums, budgeting and scheduling and are responsible for the success of each student in their schools.

These individuals often strive to empower teachers to become leaders themselves, distributing the weight of the school's responsibilities more equitably and providing a model of teamwork for students to look up to.
