Making Time for Instructional Leadership: Helping Principals Lead HQIM Implementation

December 15, 2025

Strong instructional leadership isn’t about adding more to your plate — it’s about focusing on what matters most: high-quality instruction.

In this session, district leaders will learn how to coach principals to lead with purpose and alignment by redesigning their week to focus on classroom visibility, observation, and feedback. Together, we’ll uncover hidden time, rework calendars, and strengthen feedback practices that keep high-quality instructional materials (HQIM) at the center of every conversation.

You’ll leave with ready-to-use tools that make instructional leadership doable, focused, and sustainable — because making time for instruction isn’t about doing more; it’s about leading with clarity and impact.

During this session, educators will:

  • Identify how to prioritize and protect time for instructional leadership within their current schedules
  • Design a two-week observation and feedback cycle that strengthens campus instructional leaders' support of HQIM practices
  • Apply feedback strategies that focus on an instructional leader’s impact and promote reflection and growth
  • Commit to one actionable time-management or feedback practice that increases coaching instructional leadership effectiveness
