Abstract

Abstract

Instructional leadership (IL) is considered to be one of those key concepts and classic theoretical models in the field of educational leadership studies. For about forty years since it was launched in the middle of 1980s, this concept and model has guided researchers and even practitioners in their work all around the globe. The authors of this article recently conducted a thematic interview with Philip Hallinger, one of the founding scholars who first developed a clear conceptualization of instructional leadership, and made it possible to look at the process of the development and change of this concept and theory from his own perspective. Besides, this article tries to picture the dynamics of how IL corresponded to challenging leadership concepts, diverse cultural contexts as well as shifting educational reforms and eventually developed into a helpful organizing concept up till now. It concludes with reflections on some key issues concerning the themes, perspectives and interests for knowledge building in this field, discussing matters of historical roots and the future ahead for leadership study in education.
