ABSTRACT: This study was conducted to identify the behaviors of high performing instructional leader as perceived by the students, teachers, guidance counselors and department heads. Sources of data were 276 students, teachers, guidance counselors and department heads from four public high schools in the Division of City Schools, Manila. Data were collected through questionnaires, observation and interviews. The response of each respondent for each item in the questionnaire were tallied, tabulated and computed for the mean score using Microsoft Excel. To test the hypothesis if there is a significant difference on the perceptions of the different groups of respondents, the t test for differences in mean was computed. The computed t value showed that there was no significant difference in the mean scores given by the different groups of respondents. The study further revealed that the respondents perceived the two instructional leaders to manifest positive behaviors of an instructional leader and that both are high performing. This was reflected from the computed percentages of those respondents who either agree/ strongly agree on the different behavioral areas. The findings also revealed that there are no significant differences in the mean scores comparing the two instructional leaders. However, the computed Pearson r showed that there is a high positive correlation of the perceptions of the ratings given by the respondents to their respective principals and that both are high performing and the respondents think highly of their principals. Having recognized the vital role of the principal, the researcher concluded that there is a need for a more empowered principal whose quality of decisions will impact heavily on the quality of learning taking place in the classrooms.
