Demonstrating Instructional Leadership and School GSA: Gateway to Pedagogical Effectiveness

This study assessed the relationship between the status of instructional leadership in relation to the General Scholastic Average (GSA) of the West II District- Elementary in the Division of Mandaue City, Cebu, during the School Year 2018-2019 towards effective scaling design. The study was participated by 72 teachers using stratified proportionate random sampling method. An adapted questionnaire was used with high internal consistency. Using multiple linear regression analysis, it was found out that there was no significant relationship between the profile of the respondents as a set and instructional leadership. The study found out there was a positive significant relationship between status of instructional leadership in relation to GSA. Therefore, the study recommended that school heads empower the teacher to act as instructional leader. In addition, it is suggested to conduct stress management and time management seminar-workshop, qualitative study to get an in-depth knowledge of the barriers and challenges in the practice of instructional leadership, determine other predictors of instructional leadership, and conduct similar study in another District in the Division of Mandaue City for further enhancements of the study.
