INSTRUCTIONAL LEADERSHIP CONSTELLATION FOR THE 21ST CENTURY CHANGES IN SCHOOLING THROUGH MOBILE TECHNOLOGY

This article deals with the implications of new constellations for instructional leadership arising from the growing adoption of the 21st-century reform movement as considered by policymakers in the country and around the world. The dramatic and radicle changes proposed by school mission and visions, systems, and pedagogy as set by educators, policymakers, and business makers are deemed essential to ensure a vibrant and sustainable global community where school principals are required to step out from behind their managerial desks and enter to a facilitative and contributive role in guiding and directing instructional changes in schools across the country through diverse modes of instruction delivery. The key objective of this article is to promote educational leadership and change through teachers and principals who can impact student engagement in the 21st century through mobile technology. In the methodology section, equitable allocation of resources was emphasized to promote digital literacy, instructional progress was measured for fostering a culture of collaboration around instructional development, and teachers were encouraged to collaborate on their specialized learning for instructional improvement. Instructors and leaders as a result could learn and practice the necessary technical, leadership, and managerial skills to be participants in a vibrant democracy while ensuring that members work as a group to meet the learning needs of each student.
