Since time immemorial, leadership has been a key factor that determines the achievement of learning institutions (Toprak, 2020, Day et al., 2016). In the National Education Policy 2020, the distributed leadership is predicted as an instrument to change the educational system in India. In this article, the investigator has examined the current instructional leadership trends and practices in teacher education, and also identified the gaps in the existing literature. The present investigator has also examined the leadership models that determine student learning outcomes. The published literature through systematic searches of Google scholar, PubMed, education resources information centre (ERIC)and the like has been used to extract empirical evidence. The results provided evidence-based policy guidelines to teacher and school education, and this can enhance the leadership competences in instruction that are in the best interest of the society.
