Abstract
The role of school leaders in the school improvement process cannot be overemphasized. School leaders are expected to guide teachers in implementing effective instructional strategies and enhancing student learning. Among many other tasks, conducting effective classroom observations is of paramount importance. Given its benefits, classroom observations are mandated in many educational systems and have been studied by researchers for many years. In the study, we discuss the design of a web-based simulation (LeadWise) to get school leaders to practice instructional leadership skills. We present the design process and feedback from the school leaders that will be used to inform future versions of this work.
