From the Paper:

"Instructional leadership is a concept which incorporates a `top-down' mentality into the climate of the school. While this phrase is typically used for teaching, it is also effective here to illustrate the relationship a principal can (or by contrast, does not) build throughout the entire school community. This focus on instructional leadership is a relatively new concentration which, however, deserves its attention. It has always been known that a teacher carries an immense power over the learning atmosphere of his or her classroom. Similarly, a principal can thus inspire and motive the entire school to possess an attitude of life-long learning, which can, among other elements, build the academic achievement levels of the student body. Hence, this remains an apt area of recent study."
