Communication is one of the main elements in determining the success of an organization. At school, effective communication between principals and teachers is very important in determining school effectiveness, especially in the aspect of teaching and learning. Yet, the school principals are very much occupied with routine managerial and administrative tasks which have inevitably limit the effective communication between principals and teachers. The study was aimed to identify the influence of the communication pattern toward virtual instructional leadership and teachers’ teaching competencies. Data from 352 respondents collected through questionnaire were analysed using AMOS version 22. The finding showed that the indirect effect value of virtual instructional leadership toward teachers’ teaching competencies (?=.369) is smaller than its total effect (?=.582). This indicated that the communication pattern has some influence on virtual instructional leadership. Finally, this study has successfully developed a model depicting the relationship between virtual instructional leadership and teacher teaching competency.
