Leading and Managing Instruction in a College in Bangladesh
Introduction
A lot of emphasis is currently placed on the need for principals to be instructional leaders or leaders of learning, primarily because this type of leadership has a stronger impact on student outcomes than other types of leadership (Robinson, Lloyd, & Rowe, 2008). Instructional leadership has a strong influence on the success of a school as perceived by Western scholars (Hallinger & Murphy, 1985; Debevoise, 1984; Blase, 2000; Quinn, 2002). Instructional leadership is very important because it can produce effective teaching and learning among the teachers and students who can produce excellent academic performance (Hallinger and Heck, 1996; Johnson, et al., 2000).

As the evaluation system has been strictly designed and controlled by the Education ministry of Bangladesh so that, the limitation should be addressed and viewed as the critical factor for the success of leaders in terms of instructional headship.
The most fundamental problem with an exam-oriented education system is that examinations distort students’ motivation and learning by over-emphasising the importance of the scores as outcomes and measures of students’ abilities (Paris, S., 1995).
In addition, high drop rate among female students is one of most challenging part for managing instruction in a college. Research tells that the reasons for female students dropping out of their studies can be grouped into three categories: social, economic and educational. A female student can drop out due to financial difficulties or family related or personal problems. The college authorities have no control over the decision of the student to dropout due to any of these external circumstances.

  • Reflection On Florida Principal's Leadership Standards

    957 Words  | 4 Pages

    The second domain in the Florida Principals Leadership Standards is composed of three different standards. The first of these is Instructional Plan Implementation and is about how an effective leader must collaborate to develop and implement an effective instructional framework that aligns with the required standards and meets his/her students’ needs (“The Florida Principal,” n.d.). Due to the variety in options that are available to align instruction to a pupil, given that the instruction will be adjusted to his/her needs, I feel that the situational leadership approach will be able to be implemented in this situation to create better results as “different situations demand different kinds of leadership (Northouse, P., 2016). The different leadership styles that make up the Situational approach can be tied to this standard by connecting the necessary leadership style with the supportive and directive behaviors in the task that is performed. As an instructor, I will spend time in the S1 category of the Situational Leadership Model as I make use of a “common language of instruction”, spend time between the S1 and S2 categories by “communicate the relationships among academic standards” and by being engaged “in data analysis for instructional planning and improvement”.
