Contextually, this study aims to explore the instructional leadership of International Baccalaureate (IB) Programme Coordinators implementing the Middle Year Programmein selected IB international schools in Malaysia. A research framework investigating Middle Year Programme Coordinators' (MYPC) instructional leadership practices and challenges are proposed. Methodologically, it is reasoned that online interviews and focus group interviews with subordinate teachers will be appropriate for this study. To analyze the data collected, comparisons of the participant's responses will bemade and common codes and themes were will be identified. The data generated from the interview will be analyzed by comparing the data of the respective respondents to identify common codes, themes and trends. Member checks will also be conducted giving respondents a chance not only to validate their interview transcripts and comment on the researcher's codes and emerging themes but also on thecorrectness of the inferences. Focus group data from the findings will highlight their conceptualizations, experiences and views of teachers on instructional leadership. To ensure limitations and biases are at the minimum since the sample size is small, data triangulation with the theoretical framework also will help to ensure that the study is guided by a clear purpose, seeking feedback from experts in the field and sharing the results with other researchers for further validation to reduce the impact of limitations and biases and increase the generalizability of the results.
