The present research investigated the integration of teacher's two discrepant instructional leaderships : task-oriented leadership and acceptance leadership. In study 1, elementary school teachers (N=191) completed a questionnaire measuring instructional behaviors, classroom pupils' task motivation and performance, and cooperation. Classroom pupils (N=1,037) estimated their task motivation and cooperation. The results revealed that fifth- and sixth grade teachers practiced "confront the task considerately" strategy as two leaderships' integration. In study 2, one year period case study reported that a fifth-grade elementary school teacher strategy changed from consideration to delegation, and that her pupils improved their autonomy and cooperation.
