Though the school management controls and regulates empowerment for people to unleash internal
rather than external commitment, teaching performance has become a factor in quantifying performance as the
penultimate of morale that propels inner self to strive to bring forth the entire school organization into heights.
To direct people towards instructional change, concept of space-change-time cycle has the potency to unravel for
deep understanding of the theory of ocean wave production. By practice, this wave motion principle has the
potency to bring about the entire organization to cascade a wave with ripple effect under the control of the less
backward but more forward perspectives. Ultimately, such wave motion catapults an organization in a forward
linear direction of wave movement towards the shore of educational success – the new phenomenon of change.
CONCLUSION
The new phenomenon in educational leadership has emanated from the lattice of three elements: Space,
Change and Time. Space refers to the organizational setting where the change takes place; change refers to the
issues of reality – instructional practices that require change to further meet organizational direction while time
refers to the sequence of moments in a linear order (Brubacher, 1978) where change happens. This is a step to
inquiry seeking to understand organizational life and to create a spirit on inquiry that invites others to
collaboratively do the same. Below is the concept of wave motion pattern drawn from the facts of this research.

The concept of Time-Space-Change is grounded model draws its force, mechanisms and shape from the
nature’s production of ocean wave. Nature propels the production of wave, which is initiated by the friction of
the wind that passes over the water surface, which eventually forces the water to ripple. The strength of the
wind, the distance of the wind blows (fetch) and the length of the gust (duration) determine how big the ripples
will become. With enough friction, the water would cause to ripple to take effect, which move the water towards
the shore. In relation to the ocean wave motion theory, school leadership may propel its organization towards its
organizational goal if it has the desired structures necessary to bring about success in the context of time-spacechange.
These structures include the adequate levels of milieu, social, cultural and ecological dimensions
