Shared instructional leadership means that the principal, teachers and other staff collaboratively exercise leadership on instructional issues. Instructional program coherence refers to a continually developing common framework that coordinates all instructional initiatives. I administered the seven-item (SILS) and ten-item (IPCS) questionnaires to teachers in public secondary schools in a Midwestern state and used exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses to examine the two measures. Cronbach’s alpha and Guttman Split-Half Coefficient were used to test their internal consistency. In the first study, results confirmed a unidimensional factor structure for SILS with good internal consistency (.97). In the second study, results confirmed a unidimensional factor structure for IPCS with good internal consistency (.96). In the third study, results indicated that IPCS explains most of the between-school variation of SILS in a multi-level model where IPCS is used as a predictor. The three studies coherently point to the importance of systematic leadership. Collaborative undertaking of instructional leadership responsibilities and the implication of a common instructional framework tend to coexist in secondary schools. 2016 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1480635675654798 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1480635675654798 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
