Principal supervisors often find themselves drawn into managing logistical and operational matters, instead of helping principals become more effective instructional leaders. Yet Meredith Honig and Lydia Rainey contend that principal supervisors need to make principals’ instructional leadership their primary focus.

They helped principals lead their own learning and used modeling and other instructional moves to help them along the way.
