1. INTRODUCTION Rationale: Principals need to be instructional leaders since the key to running successful schools lies in the principals' role. Instructional leadership as exclusive regard the principal as the sole holder of responsibility when it comes to setting goals for the school, supervision, and in developing instruction that enhances academic achievement. This perspective tends to focus only on the role of principals as instructional leaders. Instructional leadership involves setting clear goals, managing curriculum, monitoring lesson plans, allocating resources and evaluating teachers regularly to promote student learning and growth. Quality of instruction is the top priority for the instructional principal. This means that if the principal or administrator is knowledgeable in the aspect of instruction so it will be an implication that he would be effective in his job as a principal. Leadership effectiveness depends on how this influence promotes leader and teacher learning in ways that improves the engagement, learning and well-being of all students. This is not the work of one person, everybody must be a part of the success of the schools implementation academics and programs and project. As educational leaders, principals face the challenge of improving teaching and learning to ensure academic success for all students. According to Lashway (2003), the role of the principal is rapidly changing from simply encouraging teachers' efforts to leading teachers to produce tangible results. Now, many principals are experiencing diminished managerial and political priorities in favor of increased instructional and student learning priorities, and the roles are more interconnected (Hallinger, 2005). Learning tends to deteriorate not only in the Philippines but also in other neighboring countries due to the many factors that affect the learning capabilities of the learners. In Leyte division and in the station where the researcher is assigned as the principal for years, the learning retention of the pupils in the academic aspect deteriorates easily. This is the main reason why the researcher decided to have this study a focus.
