Abstract—Instructional leadership is an essential component of any educational institution. The skills and competencies of instructional leaders are very important to deliver quality education and school improvement. The main purpose of this study was to examine the teachers’ perceptions on instructional leadership in a private school in basic education in the Philippines. The Instructional Leadership Questionnaire by Al-Omari was adapted to determine the perceptions of faculty on effective use of resources, communication skills, serving as instructional resource, and being visible and accessible. A total of 104 respondents voluntarily participated. Results show that respondents have positive perception on all four components of instructional leadership which can be surmised that instructional leaders should be able to demonstrate skills and competencies on effective use of resources, clear communication, serve as instructional resource, and being visible and accessible. Further research is recommended to determine the effect of these components to the actual teaching and learning implementation in the school.
