Louise Chisholm started work with the authority on Monday April 17.
More than half of Scottish local authorities have a virtual head teacher (VHT) post, which involves working at a strategic level away from a school building.
Head teachers across the area have also been sharing good practice and collaborate with educational experts from across the country this month at the third Headteacher Conference of this session.
Elizabeth Morrison, a professional advisor at Scottish Government, spoke about her vast career in education, focusing on strategic leadership, while Joan Mackay from Education Scotland’s Curriculum Innovation team, provided head teachers with an insight into evidence-led curriculum design.
Head teachers also took part in various workshops focusing on the likes of Leadership of Early Learning and Shared Leadership Across Settings.
Louise Chisholm appointment is detailed in a report to go before Thursday's full council meeting.
