%X The performance evaluation of teachers is a matter of debate in many respects. By whom and for what purposes the evaluations are carried out is an important issue for these debates. Different arrangements were made for that issue in the Turkish Education System. Recently, the school principals take an important role in the evaluation of teachers. However, there is a need to determine how school principals, seen as instructional leaders who need to work for the development and transformation of the school, make evaluations and what roles those evaluations have for instructional leadership. In recent research, it was aimed to examine the evaluations made by the school principals in the context of instructional leadership. The case study was used for the research design. The study group was constructed using the maximum diversity sampling method and included school principals who worked at different school levels and socio-economic environments and had different work experience. It was concluded that evaluations made by the school principals are more positive in general terms than the evaluations made by external evaluators. School principals have accepted that although this process has many points to be developed, it will reveal more positive results in the future. When considered in the context of instructional leadership, it can be said that the evaluation process will be appropriate in many aspects. However, there are some problems - intangibility of the criteria, increasing tension between teacher and principal, and ineffective evaluations on different field of specializations- to be addressed and overcame in the practice of the system that may lead to more compatibility of the evaluations with instructional leadership
