Determining the Influence of School Heads’ Instructional Leadership on the Professional Performance of Elementary Teachers in the Legislative District 6 of the Division of Isabela

Jaqueline Salvador

Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

Artificial Intelligence, English Second Language, Oral Proficiency, Cognitive Attitude, Affective Attitude, Behavioral Attitude leadership dimensions emerged as significant predictors of teachers’ professional performance. These findings suggest that teachers’ professional performance may be influenced more strongly by other factors beyond the instructional leadership practices examined in this study. Future research may explore other determinants of teacher performance and investigate possible indirect pathways through which instructional leadership contributes to educational outcomes.
