This article explores the notion that the shifting responsibilities of school principals have required the incorporation of new and different leadership styles that will require advanced skillsets in organizational management and performance and instructional leadership. Further, how teachers perceive their school leader's ability to effectively demonstrate these capacities can have a tremendous impact on student learning and organizational effectiveness. This study seeks to explore how incorporating a blended leadership model using a professional development model can have positive effects on schools and focus school leadership on creating and articulating a clear school vision, promoting a climate of high expectations, effectively distributing leadership responsibilities, and improving teaching and learning, while designing and implementing effective staff development initiatives (Hallinger, 2005; Printy et al., 2003).
