Recognizing that education systems have been temporarily paralyzed
in the past and likely will in the future-whether it's because of a
natural disaster or a pandemic-this important volume offers
critical insights about how schools can effectively carry forward
the mission of educating all children even in the face of system
turbulence and disruption. Featuring Narratives from expert leaders
in urban, rural, and suburban school systems, this book explores
important questions about the "new normal" such as the ways in
which students can and should learn, how educators can teach and
lead effectively, and how schools can carry out important functions
beyond their instructional mission. Chapters present inspiring
stories of leaders and teachers who have rallied, rebuilt, and
problem-solved in face of the pandemic and amid adversity,
ultimately providing a roadmap for how it's possible to rebuild and
adjust while preserving the fundamental core of education. Full of
takeaways and first-hand insights into how systems and their
schools faced turbulence, disruption, and adaptation, this book is
a must-read for today's educators committed to making a positive
impact on the students they have the duty to serve.

requires personal and professional balance to be effective in
