Abstract
The educational advancement in Malaysia has always been the main agenda of the government to make this country education equal to the other developed countries in this world. School leaders must have a futuristic mind and would be able to think beyond the ordinary to make this aspiration become a reality. They must be bold enough to make changes in line with the rapid development of mobile technology, internet, wireless connectivity, and the new medium of virtual communication. Therefore, this qualitative study aimed to verify the model on instructional leadership behaviors of virtual school leaders in secondary schools in Malaysia. The results of an interview by two expert lecturers in the educational leadership field found that most principals practiced the virtual instructional leadership behaviors by integrating mobile device technology and new mediums of virtual communication in their instructional leadership practices. The interview also validated the virtual instructional leadership model. However, further studies need to carry out to strengthen this model. The validation of this virtual instructional leadership model will serve as guidance for the authorities in designing the curriculum for principals’ courses in Malaysia, as well as guidance for principals to practice virtual instructional leadership.
