Review :
Leaders are not defined by the good times but by the challenges they help their communities overcome. In Polishing the Diamond that is the Virtual Principal, these authors uncover a hidden gem, that of the Virtual Principal which was unleashed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. This book provides practical, relevant insights into how a principal led within the virtual world of school and how virtual leadership is here to stay. Virtual education has opened more learning opportunities for our students and staff and these opportunities must continue. Because leadership is essential, this book is a must read for today's principal! March 2020 changed the day-to-day life of everything, especially the business of schools. Students, teachers and principals were forced into the world of virtual learning. Polishing the Diamond that is the Virtual Principal takes an honest look at how real principals and superintendents navigated this uncharted territory. While the book offers useful tips for educators, students and supporting faculty during a pandemic, these approaches are applicable for non-pandemic times as well. Topics such as leading during a crisis and navigating change were relevant during the COVID-19 closure but still are useful and relevant now that schools have re-opened. Additionally, the “Principal’s Corner” sections of each chapter provide excellent opportunities for educators to reflect on their practice. Polishing the Diamond that is the Virtual Principal is a valuable tool for all leaders that want to support their teachers and provide students with a first class education. The Virtual Principal provides an accurate account of the challenges faced in schools during the Covid-19 Pandemic. Additionally, this book highlights best practices for virtual leadership as well as traditional leadership in schools. In fact, districts should pay close attention so they know how to support their principals in the face of adversity. Lessons learned provide valuable insight into how school leaders can improve their craft. This book is a must read for all sitting principals, those in the leadership pipeline, and district officials.
