The Instructional Leadership Toolbox

A Handbook for Improving Practice
This updated resource provides headteachers and other school administrators with the tools needed to become effective instructional leaders, build teamwork, and boost student achievement.

"I applaud Gupton′s focus on the learner. This is the most important tenet for a school administrator′s decision making. Each chapter describes a portion of school leadership that the successful principal needs to master."
—Sharon Madsen Redfern, Principal
Highland Park Elementary School, Lewistown, MT
