1East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania, East Stroudsburg, PA USA.
Techtrends : for Leaders in Education & Training
|March 9, 2022
Summary
The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for virtual leadership skills in education. This study identified unique competencies required for virtual school leaders, aligning with professional standards for better emergency preparedness and remote learning practices.
Area of Science:
- Educational Leadership
- Virtual Learning Environments
- Emergency Preparedness in Education
Background:
- The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated widespread remote learning, exposing unpreparedness among educational leaders for virtual environments.
- Existing educational leadership programs inadequately prepare leaders for virtual instruction and management.
- The crisis underscored the critical need for virtual leadership competencies for all school administrators.
Purpose of the Study:
- To understand the competencies essential for virtual school leadership.
- To examine the relationship between virtual leadership competencies and the Professional Standards for Educational Leaders (P-SEL).
Main Methods:
- Conducted semi-structured interviews with 28 virtual school leaders.
- Analyzed interview data to identify key leadership competencies in virtual settings.
Main Results:
- The Professional Standards for Educational Leaders (P-SEL) were found to be categorically relevant to virtual leadership.
- Virtual school leaders demonstrated distinct competencies across various leadership domains, differing from traditional leadership roles.
- Unique skills are required for effective virtual school leadership beyond standard educational leadership frameworks.
Conclusions:
- Educational leadership preparation must integrate specific competencies for virtual environments.
- Findings inform the development of training programs to enhance virtual leadership effectiveness.
- This research supports improved continuity of instruction during emergencies and the enhancement of remote learning practices.

The principle of virtual work states that if a body is in static and dynamic equilibrium, then the sum of all the virtual work done by all external forces and couple moments for any given virtual displacement must be zero.
In static equilibrium, a body can experience an imaginary or virtual movement, such as displacement or rotation. The virtual work done by a force is equal to the dot product of force and virtual displacement in the direction of the force. When it comes to virtually rotating a...

1.3K
The principle of virtual work is an essential concept in the field of mechanics and engineering. This is used to solve problems related to the equilibrium of a structure or system. It is based on the assumption that if a system is in equilibrium, the work done by all the forces during a virtual displacement is zero. This principle is applied by considering virtual displacements of the system and the corresponding work done by internal and external forces.

Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.

01:37Social Loafing

Another way in which a group presence can affect performance is social loafing—the exertion of less effort by a person working together with a group. Social loafing occurs when our individual performance cannot be evaluated separately from the group. Thus, group performance declines on easy tasks (Karau & Williams, 1993). Essentially individual group members loaf and let other group members pick up the slack. Because each individual’s efforts cannot be evaluated,...
