Excellent School Principals make excellent schools. The Principal as an academic leader makes the difference.  He or she moves the school from mediocrity to excellent academic performance. Because of this, societies have always looked up to the Principal as a responsible leader. With much expectations, the Principal does not only manage the beauty and safety of the school facilities, but promote the conductive learning atmosphere that makes the teachers and pupils/students excel and realize their full potentials.

The average performance of the schools in the Philippines therefore require among others, the empowerment of the Principals. To empower the Principals, it would equally require efforts in strengthening their capabilities as academic leaders in the schools. Based on their specific needs, the MAEd Instructional Leadership Program is designed to develop their basic leadership competencies in instruction.

So that the Principals may not be disturbed in their official duties and responsibilities, the MAEd IL Program uses alternative instructional delivery systems. This learning systems is a combination of individual self-directed learning mode, small group sessions, face-to-face with the Professor and the undertaking of Practicum. As a self-internalized learning system, the Principal’s attendance to the regular Graduate School is reduced to around fifty percent (50%).
