The purpose of this research is to examine how educational leadership methods in China affect the quality of instruction. A quantitative research strategy was used to gather information from 500 educators from different areas and grade levels. Indicators of teaching quality including student engagement, academic achievement, and teacher effectiveness were positively correlated with vision-setting, instructional leadership, and support for teachers, according to the results. The importance of leadership in fostering pedagogical excellence and coordinating instructional practices with student learning outcomes is underscored by regression analysis, which further reveals instructional leadership as the most powerful predictor of teaching quality. These results highlight the need to improve student outcomes and teacher quality in China's educational system by funding leadership development and support. Teachers are better able to carry out their responsibilities and students are more likely to succeed in school when administrators and legislators place an emphasis on good leadership techniques.
