  • 1. NATIONAL FORUM OF EDUCATIONAL ADMINISTRATION AND SUPERVISION JOURNALVOLUME 30, NUMBER 2, 201330THE PRINCIPAL AS AN INSTRUCTIONALLEADERFred C. LunenburgSam Houston State UniversityABSTRACTThe principals primary responsibility is to promote the learning and success ofall students. In this article, I discuss how school principals can accomplish thisgoal by focusing on learning; encouraging collaboration; analyzing results;providing support; and aligning curriculum, instruction, and assessment.IntroductionDemands for greater accountability, especially appeals for theuse of more outcome-based measures, requires the principal to beinstruction oriented. Are the students learning? If the students are notlearning, what are we going to do about it? The focus on results; thefocus on student achievement; the focus on students learning at highlevels, can only happen if teaching and learning become the centralfocus of the school and the central focus of the principal (Blankstein,2010; Bulach, Lunenburg, & Potter, 2008).How can principals help teachers to clarify instructional goalsand work collaboratively to improve teaching and learning to meetthose goals? Principals need to help teachers shift their focus fromwhat they are teaching to what students are learning. We cannotcontinue to accept the premise that I taught it; they just didnt learnit. The role of instructional leader helps the school to maintain afocus on why the school exists, and that is to help all students learn(Blase, Blase, & Phillips, 2010; Smylie, 2010).

2. 31Shifting the focus of instruction from teaching to learning;forming collaborative structures and processes for faculty to worktogether to improve instruction; and ensuring that professionaldevelopment is ongoing and focused toward school goals are amongthe key tasks that principals must perform to be effective instructionalleaders in a professional learning community (Lunenburg & Irby,2006). This will require districtwide leadership focused directly onlearning. School principals can accomplish this by (1) focusing onlearning, (2) encouraging collaboration, (3) using data to improvelearning, (4) providing support, and (5) aligning curriculum,instruction, and assessment. Taken together, these five dimensionsprovide a compelling framework for accomplishing sustaineddistrictwide success for all children (Fullan, 2010; Lunenburg, 2003;Marzano & Waters, 2010).Focusing on LearningPrincipals can help shift the focus from teaching to learning ifthey insist that there are certain critical questions that are beingconsidered in that school, and principals are in a key position to posethose questions (DuFour, DuFour, & Eaker, 2008). What do we wantour students to know and be able to do? The focus in a professionallearning community is not on: Are you teaching, but are the studentslearning? How will you know if the students are learning? Thatpoints to student progress. How will we respond when students do notlearn? What criteria will we use to evaluate student progress? Howcan we more effectively use the time and resources available to helpstudents learn? How can we engage parents in helping our studentslearn? Have we established systematic collaboration as the norm inour school? These are the questions principals need to pose in order toshift the focus in schools from teaching to learning._____________________________________________________________FRED C. LUNENBURG 3. 32 NATIONAL FORUM OF EDUCATIONAL ADMINISTRATION & SUPERVISION JOURNAL___Encouraging CollaborationA key task for principals is to create a collective expectationamong teachers concerning student performance. That is, principalsneed to raise the collective sense of teachers about student learning(DuFour, DuFour, Eaker, Karhanek, 2010). Then principals must workto ensure that teacher expectations are aligned with the schoolsinstructional goals. Furthermore, principals need to eliminate teacherisolation so that discussions about student learning become acollective mission of the school (Elmore, 2005; Senge, 2001, 2006).Principals must develop and sustain school structures andcultures that foster individual and group learning. That is, principalsmust stimulate an environment in which new information andpractices are eagerly incorporated into the system. Teachers are morelikely to pursue their group and individual learning when there aresupportive conditions in the school, such as particularly effectiveleadership (English, 2008; Northouse, 2010). Schools where teacherscollaborate in discussing issues related to student learning are morelikely to be able to take advantage of internally and externallygenerated information. Teachers can become willing recipients ofresearch information if they are embedded in a setting wheremeaningful and sustained interaction with researchers occurs in anegalitarian context (Blankstein, Houston, & Cole, 2009).One popular collaboration structure is teacher teams. Schoolsare recognizing that teachers should be working together in teams asopposed to working individually in isolation in their classrooms. Highperforming teams will accomplish four different things (Smylie,2010): (1) They will clarify exactly what students should know and beable to do as a result of each unit of instruction. We know that ifteachers are clear on the intended results of instruction, they will bemore effective. (2) They will then design curriculum and shareinstructional strategies to achieve those outcomes. (3) They willdevelop valid assessment strategies that measure how well students areperforming. (4) Then they will analyze those results and work 4. _____________________________________________________________FRED C. LUNENBURG 33together to come up with new ideas for improving those results.Regular assessment and analysis of student learning are key parts ofthe teams process.Using Data to Improve LearningHow can schools gauge their progress in achieving studentlearning? Three factors can increase a schools progress in achievinglearning for all students (Blankstein, Houston, & Cole, 2010; Love,2009). The primary factor is the availability of performance dataconnected to each student. Performance data need to be broken downby specific objectives and target levels in the school curriculum. Thenthe school is able to connect what is taught to what is learned. Thecurriculum goals should be clear enough to specify what each teachershould teach. And an assessment measure, aligned with thecurriculum, will indicate what students have learned (Popham, 2010a,2010b). Also, teachers need access to longitudinal data on eachstudent in their classroom. With such data, teachers are able todevelop individual and small-group education plans to ensure masteryof areas of weakness from previous years while also moving studentsforward in the school curriculum.The second factor is the public nature of the assessmentsystem. Annually, the school district should publish a matrix ofschools and honor those schools that have performed at high levels.This provides role models for other schools to emulate. At the schooland classroom levels, it provides a blueprint of those areas whereteachers should focus their individual education plans (IEPs) andwhere grade levels or schools should focus the schools professionaldevelopment plans. The public nature of the data from theaccountability system makes clear where schools are. Data should bedisaggregated by race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, Englishlanguage proficiency, and disability. Performance of each subgroup ofstudents on assessment measures makes the school community awareof which students are well served and which students are not well 5. 34 NATIONAL FORUM OF EDUCATIONAL ADMINISTRATION & SUPERVISION JOURNAL___served by the schools curriculum and instruction.The third factor in gauging progress toward achieving studentlearning is the specifically targeted assistance provided to schools thatare performing at low levels. Before the advent of accountabilitysystems, it was not evident which schools and students neededhelp (Lunenburg & Ornstein, 2008). The first step is to target theSchools in need of help based on student performance data. Eachtargeted school is paired with a team of principals, curriculumspecialists/instructional coaches, and researchers to observe currentpractices; discuss student performance data with staff; and assist in thedevelopment and implementation of an improvement plan. Thetargeted schools learn how to align their program of professionaldevelopment to the weaknesses identified by the data. They learn howto develop an improvement plan to guide their activities and monitorthe outcomes of the activities, all of which are designed to raisestudent performance levels.Next, once a team of teachers has worked together andidentified students who are having difficulty, then the school faces thechallenge of how they are going to respond to the students who are notlearning (Murphy, 2010). The challenge is not simply re-teaching inthe same way in which teachers taught before, but providing supportfor teachers to expand their repertoire of skills and providing supportand time for students to get additional assistance they need in order tomaster those skills. When students are not learning, principals mustinsure that professional development programs are in place to giveadditional support to teachers and intervention strategies are in placeto give additional support to students (Joyce & Calhoun, 2010).Providing SupportTeachers need to be provided with the training, teaching tools,and the support they need to help all students reach high performancelevels. Specifically, teachers need access to curriculum guides, 6. _____________________________________________________________FRED C. LUNENBURG 35textbooks, or specific training connected to the school curriculum.They need access to lessons or teaching units that match curriculumgoals. They need training on using assessment results to diagnoselearning gaps (Downey, Steffy, Poston, & English, 2009). Teachersmust know how each student performed on every multiple-choice itemand other questions on the assessment measure. And training must bein the teachers subject areas. Only then can teachers be prepared tohelp students achieve at high levels.In addition to professional development for teachers, allschools need an intervention and support system for students who lagbehind in learning the curriculum. Schools need to provide additionalhelp to students who lag behind in core subjects, either in school, afterschool, on weekends, or during the summer. Boards of education andschool superintendents need to supply the financial resources to fulfillthis mandate. This involves acquiring materials, information, ortechnology; manipulating schedules or release time to createopportunities for teachers to learn; facilitating professional networks;and creating an environment that supports school improvement efforts(Lunenburg & Ornstein, 2008).A focus on student learning usually means changes incurriculum, instruction, and assessment - that is, changes in teaching.The history of school reform indicates that innovations in teaching andlearning seldom penetrate more than a few schools and seldom endurewhen they do (Elmore, 2005). Innovations frequently fail because theindividuals who make it happen - those closest to the firing line -classroom teachers, may not be committed to the effort or may nothave the skills to grapple with the basic challenge being posed (Fullan,Hill, & Crevola 2006; Fullan & St. Germain, 2006). Principals need toinsure that teachers have the skills to help all students perform at highlevels. 7. 36 NATIONAL FORUM OF EDUCATIONAL ADMINISTRATION & SUPERVISION JOURNAL___Aligning Curriculum, Instruction, and AssessmentPrincipals need to ensure that assessment of student learning isaligned with both the schools curriculum and the teachers instruction(English, 2000; Popham, 2010a). When they are well constructed andimplemented, assessment can change the nature of teaching andlearning. They can lead to a richer, more challenging curriculum;foster discussion and collaboration among teachers within and acrossschools; create more productive conversations among teachers andparents; and focus stakeholders attention on increasing studentachievement.For curriculum goals to have an impact on what happens inclassrooms, they must be clear. When school districts, administrators,and students are held accountable for results, more specificity isneeded in implementing the curriculum. In a high-stakesaccountability environment, teachers require that the curriculumcontain enough detail and precision to allow them to know what thestudents need to learn.Professional learning communities attempt to align theirassessment measures with their curriculum. English (2000) encouragesschools to consider three principles in this endeavor. First,assessments not based on the curriculum are neither fair nor helpful toparents or students. Schools that have developed their own assessmentmeasures have done a good job of ensuring that the content of theassessment can be found in the curriculum. That is, children will notbe assessed on knowledge and skills they have not been taught. Thisis what Fenwick English refers to as the doctrine of no surprises.However, the same is not true when schools use generic, off-the-shelfstandardized tests. Such tests cannot measure the breadth and depth ofthe schools curriculum. Second, when the curriculum is rich andrigorous, the assessments must be as well. Assessments must tap boththe breadth and depth of the content and skills in the curriculum.Third, assessments must become more challenging in each successivegrade. The solid foundation of knowledge and skills developed in the 8. _____________________________________________________________FRED C. LUNENBURG 37early grades should evolve into more complex skills in the latergrades.If one accepts the premise that assessment drives curriculumand instruction, perhaps the easiest way to improve instruction andincrease student achievement is to construct better assessments(Popham, 2010a, 2010b; Yeh, 2001). According to Yeh (2001), it ispossible to design force-choice items (multiple-choice items) that testreasoning and critical thinking. Such assessments could requirestudents to use facts, rather than recall them. And questions couldelicit content knowledge that is worth learning.To prepare students to think critically, teachers could teachchildren to identify what is significant. Teachers could model thecritical thinking process in the classroom, during instruction, throughassignments, in preparing for assessments, and in the content of theassessment itself. By aligning content with worthwhile questions incore subject areas, it may be possible to rescue assessment andinstruction from the current focus on the recall of trivial factualknowledge. Assessment items could be created for a range of subjectsand levels of difficulty. Then there would be little incentive forteachers to drill students on factual knowledge.ConclusionThe instructional leadership of the principal is a critical factorin the success of a schools improvement initiatives and the overalleffectiveness of the school. The primary responsibility of the principalis to promote the learning and success of all students. Schoolprincipals can accomplish this goal by focusing on learning,encouraging collaboration, using data to improve learning, providingsupport, and aligning curriculum, assessment, and instruction. 9. 38 NATIONAL FORUM OF EDUCATIONAL ADMINISTRATION & SUPERVISION JOURNAL___REFERENCESBlankstein, A.
