ABSTRACT
As Chapters 1 and 2 illustrate, school leaders must assume responsibility for leading all stakeholders to the understanding of a common set of beliefs about why they engage in the daily activities of their school leadership experience. The leadership demands placed on administrators require the articulation of this mission to students, staff, parents, and community members. In demonstrating an understanding of and adherence to the language in Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium (ISLLC) Standard 1, educational administrators recognize the importance of preparing a well-educated student body for success. This brings up the crucial role of the educational administrator as instructional leader.
