Which ISLLC Standard focuses on sustaining school culture and instructional program?

• A. Standard 2
• B. Standard 1
• C. Standard 3
• D. Standard 6

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is instructional leadership—focusing on keeping the teaching and learning system strong over time. This standard centers on sustaining the school’s instructional program and its culture by making sure the curriculum is coherent, instruction is high quality across classrooms, and teachers have the support they need to grow. A leader uses data to monitor progress, aligns resources and scheduling with instructional priorities, and builds structures like collaborative teams and ongoing feedback so improvement isn’t a one-time effort but an ongoing, school-wide practice. While other standards address vision, operations, or ethics, this one specifically targets maintaining and strengthening how students learn and the learning environment day after day.
