Virtual High Schools: Principal Leadership in an Underexplored Context
Partin, Jeana M.; Derrington, Mary Lynne
Journal of Cases in Educational Leadership, v26 n3 p3-15 Sep 2023
Principal Wilson is a first-year leader of a virtual high school. Following four years as an assistant principal in the brick-and-mortar school, she encounters unanticipated leadership challenges and policy dilemmas. Although discipline issues are nearly nonexistent, remote testing presents an ethical challenge. Moreover, she discovers that implementing the tenants of social presence is an unconditional requirement of a virtual school. In this case, the principal faces tough decisions when considering discipline for cheating, the lack of professional development for part-time teachers, and the potential effects of trauma-influenced behavior. This case explores the emerging field of virtual school principal leadership in the context of increasing online K-12 learning post-pandemic.
