Abstract

This work attempts to re-examine instructional leadership from a peer influence perspective within a districtwide collaboration network of leaders. This approach to leadership supplements a conventional understanding of technical core of professional collaboration. This study further investigates the kind of instructional leadership that is shaped by peer perceptions during collaboration among a districtwide leadership team in one large school district implementing CCSS in California. Findings suggest that organizational learning and personal beliefs perceived by peer collaborators are associated with individual leaders’ perceived instructional leadership.
