Results demonstrated that administrators’ personal values influence their decisions to select and utilize instructional coaches or teacher librarians to provide instructional leadership. Instructional coaches are considered to be extensions of administrators as instructional leaders in ELA while teacher librarians are considered resources who may be called upon to provide occasional instructional support in ELA.</p>}, number={2}, journal={School Libraries Worldwide}, author={Lewis, Melanie A.}, year={2021}, month={Apr.}, pages={16–33} }
