The participants of this study were two hundred sixty-three (263) the public elementary and one hundred ninety-eight (198) secondary school teachers in the division of Bago City who rated their principals’ instructional leadership in school year 2016-2017. Stratified sampling method was used to determine the sample size. Survey questionnaire adopted from the Center for Educational Leadership in University of Washington (2012) was used as the data gathering instrument.
