The schools for the research work are selected areas of Lahore that consist of Allama Iqbal town, Samnabad, Icchra, Shah Jamal, Faisla Town, and the Shadman area of Lahore. The criteria of School selection for the data collection are that the schools must have at least 15 trained instructors, a minimum of 500 students, enough classrooms, and professional principals, enough computer and science labs, a playground, and they must have enough sports and science equipment. The primary data was collected from 250 secondary school teachers, which included 130 private school teachers and 120 public school teachers. Convenience sampling is used for the selection of the participants of the study. The data is collected by visiting the selected school with the help of a Likert scale paper instrument. The data of observed items collected and further seven factors of instructional leadership and one factor of teacher performance have been constructed. The findings of the study are indicated that instructional leadership practices have a significant and positive impact on the performance of teachers. The econometrics techniques in the form of descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, regression analysis, reliability analysis and the Kaiser-Mayer Olkin and Barlett's test Sphericity used in this work. The results of the study suggest that instructional leadership practices have a significant and positive impact on the performance of the teachers in the secondary schools of Lahore. The limitation of this research work is that this study is only limited to the selected areas of Lahore, and it is not generalised to all the secondary schools of Lahore. Future research must be focused on a mixed research approach because it will be more useful to get a complete understanding of the impact of instructional leadership on teachers' performance. Future research studies should be focused on the contextual factors, which include the school culture, motivation of the teachers, and community engagement relationship with the instructional leadership.
