Instructional leadership has long been recognized and widely advocated as a central facet of school administrators’ roles (e.g., Smith & Andrews, 1989; Leithwood & Duke, 1999; Glickman, 2002; Hallinger, 2005). This symposium addresses three critical issues confronting instructional leadership: (1) judgment of principals in making tough calls, (2) leading with less resources, and (3) the challenges and new practices associated with instructional leadership.
