As demands for online courses continue to increase and educational institutions rise to meet the needs of students, it is imperative faculty members are guided by the Seven Principles (Chickering and Gamson, 1986; Erhmann, 2003) of effective teaching as they develop online courses. This includes the judicious selection of distance learning tools to support quality teaching and learning experiences in online settings. Simulations delivered in traditional face-to-face courses have provided instructors valuable teachable moments and students with authentic learning experiences. When simulations are well designed in an online course using appropriate distance learning tools, teaching strategies can be thoughtfully developed and successfully delivered that produce quality student learning experiences.

For years, principal pre-service programs have employed in-basket simulations to provide learning experiences that reflect the realities of a school administrator’s work day. In-basket exercises afford graduate students opportunities to explore such leadership skills as organizing and prioritizing tasks, managing time, making decisions, taking initiative, practicing interpersonal skills, delegating responsibilities, and monitoring and following up on actions (Nowack, K. M., 1993). In order to replicate as closely as possible how communication is practiced in today’s schools, the delivery of a traditional in-basket exercise (Gorton, Alston, & Snowden, 2007) was repackaged as the Principal’s Inbox Simulation in one principal preparation program. The basic premise of the traditional in-basket remained intact, but the delivery of the in-basket was updated to reflect the way communication is practiced in today’s schools; that is, to mirror as closely as possible a principal at his/her desk responding to messages in their email in-box.

America’s school districts are at a crossroads of determining if they will rely on great leaders to transform schools or whether they will recognize and espouse a distributed leadership (Spillane and Diamond, 2007) perspective. But what will it take to build leadership capacity with high-performance teams in contemporary schools? Convening a group is relatively easy. Even though individuals in groups are aware of one another, interact with one another, and think of themselves as a group, teams are different in that they actually influence one another toward the accomplishment of an organizational objective (Diamond and Diamond, 2007). More specifically, teams are regarded as individuals united to achieve common goals and objectives. The work of teams is generally considered to be joint actions that allow each person to contribute to the goals and objectives even though they might have different skills, interests, opinions, and ways of expression. Such diversity allows them to perform above and beyond individual accomplishments. With increased pressure to lead schools with students that are increasingly diverse in culture, economic standing and learning styles, 21st century leaders should be compelled to build leadership capacity throughout their schools with high-performance teams.
