I found this book, to be timely, and profoundly thought provoking. It beckons educational leaders to respond! As a school administrator, I found this book to be helpful in re-connecting me to the larger community of school leaders who are now reshaping the means and delivery of education across the US. It also provides clear suggestions and ideas for school leaders as they continue to respond to the crisis. -- Frank Mulhern, Family & Community Engagement/My Brother's Keeper Programs, Ellenville School District, Ellenville, NY Nothing quite like the COVID 19 pandemic of 2020 has ever hit society and educational institutions. Crisis Leadership provides a comprehensive look at the various aspects of a pandemic crisis and the resultant demands for a wide range of leadership skills, with emphasis on the personal stories and trauma experienced by school personnel and an overview of the depth and complexity of this type of crisis. The new normal of life in the 21st Century will necessitate that leaders explore the vital information found in this book. -- Joanne B. Roberts, EdD, former high school principal and associate professor of education (ret.) The authors who have contributed to this book, based on their expertise, provide both a scholarly account and real world perspective of educating through a pandemic. The description of the processes was a glimpse into what districts felt as they moved at lightening speed from traditional learning practices to temporary online learning. The book is not a deep historical account of crisis management, past pandemics or global issues rather, it tackles this pandemic from perspective of both the educators and stakeholders. The contributors voices come to life through the sharing of feelings and experiences making this book an easy and very relevant read. -- Toni Zetzsche, PhD, principal, Pasco County Schools
