Innovation among teachers is essential to enhance educational outcomes in producing quality human capital. Teacher innovation is often associated with leadership practices in schools. However, the extent to which all leadership practices impact teacher innovation is uncertain. Therefore, this paper discusses the extent to which distributive leadership practices are used to address issues of innovative behavior among teachers. The discussion in this paper shows alignment between elements in distributive leadership practices and teachers' innovative behavior. It can be concluded that in conducting research, the suitability between dependent and independent variables can be determined by referring to the elements contained in the referenced theory.
