Abstract: In Malaysia, one of the government’s aspirations is to place high-performance leaders in schools. This aspiration is clearly emphasised in Chapter 5 of the Malaysia Educational Blueprint (MEB) 2013-2025. One of the important elements that need to be emphasised in order to realise the aspiration is the instructional leadership function. However, now a days school leaders found busy with administrative task and always being outsides school and rarely to meet teachers to concern about teaching and learning matters. Based on this situation, this study propose the concept of instructional leadership to overcome those problem. By manipulating mobile-mediated technology, this study propose conceptual model of virtual instructional leadership containing three dimensions namely defining school mission, managing program instruction and promoting school climate. This three dimension are measured by eight constructs namely framing school goals, communicating school goals, supervising and evaluating instruction, integrating mobile technology, monitoring student’s progress, providing incentives for students, providing incentives for teachers and involving in community support. Hopefully, the school leaders could using this proposed model to maximize their instructional leadership performance, although, being far and dynamic places from their staff.
