It’s Official! FBOL Is Bow…

An item from a neo-liberal leaning organization.

Dear , After nearly a year in the making, I am thrilled to share that the Foundation for Blended and Online Learning is officially now Future of School. The transition from a private foundation to the first-ever public charity fully dedicated to elevating the national discourse on education allows us to substantially expand our mission. Future of School enables more voices and wider support for important shifts in America’s K-12 teaching and learning landscape that will unlock the full potential of students, teachers and society. As Future of School, we become a collective effort for the people and by the people. Just as FBOL has done, Future of School (FoS) will continue to award innovative students and teachers who are pioneering personalized educational pathways with scholarships and grants. We remain focused on amplifying personal stories and exploring solutions to various teaching and learning challenges. And now as a people-driven public charity, we are in a stronger position to support the evolution of today’s schools to meet the needs of tomorrow’s students and a future of jobs that have yet to be defined. Toward that end, I’m also excited to announce that the 2020 FoS Scholarship application portal is now open. Interested students are encouraged to apply until it closes at 5pm ET on March 16, 2020. Please help us spread the word by sharing this among your networks.  I appreciate the support you’ve given FBOL over the past several years and thank you in advance for the many ways I know you’ll lift up Future of School. Together we can ensure education without constraints, help our students and educators harness the power of technology to transform the learning experience, and unlock the intelligence, talents and dreams that live in all our children. Thank you for your support, Amy Valentine Foundation for Blended and Online Learning + Future of School

Article Notice – Leadership Traits Among Effective Virtual School Leaders

This came across my electronic desk…

Journal of Leadership, Accountability and Ethics / Vol 16 No 4 (2019)

Leadership Traits Among Effective Virtual School Leaders

• Dee Dupree Bennett, Troy University
• Robert H. Bennett III, Georgia Southwestern State University

DOI: https://doi.org/10.33423/jlae.v16i4.2366

Keywords: Leadership, Accountability, Ethics, Virtual School, Traits, Admired Leadership Traits, School Administration, Educational Leadership, Organizational Leadership, Virtual School Teachers

Abstract

There is a growing need for outstanding virtual school administrators who can effectively navigate the unique demands of this alternative educational institution. This study explores key leadership traits deemed important in virtual school programs and organizations. The researchers conducted a mixed methods, explanatory design study using quantitative data from rank-order surveys and qualitative data from interviews with virtual school teachers and administrators. The results indicated similarities of traits identified and desired by virtual school teachers and administrators while reflecting meaningful correlation with Kouzes and Posner’s admired leadership traits. Findings and discussion provide guidance for current and future leadership in virtual settings.
