However, it does raise questions about some existing taken-for-granted's in educational research, which in itself is helpful and a reason to do more studies using non-linear models like this one.
Instructional practices was operationalised through the German three-factor model, with cognitive activation the main measure. My view is that this model doesn't work (the findings are very inconsistent across studies), and this may be another factor.
Does this mean we need to jettison the existing model? Not quite yet. There are a number of limitations in the PISA-TALIS linked dataset. Leadership was conceptualised as distributed and instructional, but each only had a few variables in the dataset.
We did not find the traditional causal model of leadership leading to better attainment through instruction. Rather, the relationship was highly complex, and in fact we found clusters of high attainment where scores on the measured leadership and instructional practices were low

What is a knowledge-rich curriculum? In any event not just facts, not just math and reading, and not elitist. It is the strongest lever for equity. And thus ultimately a matter of social justice. #EduSky
