Administrative management focuses on accountability and bureaucracy while instructional leadership focuses on achieving goals set by administrative management. Pedagogical leadership focuses on creating a learning organization with a shared vision that supports learning. Administrative management is also necessary to maintain existing school operations and prepare for future challenges. Pedagogical leadership differs from instructional leadership in that it focuses on student learning and needs, sees teaching as a profession, and encourages shared leadership.
