The Bloomsbury Handbook of Crisis Leadership and Management in Education examines the critical role of school leaders during crisis in K-12 education, spotlighting the evolving theoretical trends and practical approaches to crises around the world with contributions from international scholars. This handbook dives deep into the essence of crisis leadership and management, tailoring its insights specifically for educators, policymakers, researchers, and school leaders. The handbook is organized in three sections: firstly, Conceptualizing School Leadership During Times of Crisis explores theorizations of crisis and critically examines different models of leadership and their applicability during crises, focussing on the crucial issue of equity. Next, Practices for Leading During Crises develops insights into established practices for leading during crisis, drawing from empirical based findings around crisis preparedness, crisis plans, and crisis management teams; finally, Understanding Leadership During Different Types of Crises provides a typology of crises including natural disasters, school violence, health emergencies, death/suicide and refugees/migration, offering specialized knowledge and guidance tailored to the unique characteristics of these crises within schools. The comprehensive selection of contributions will empower school leaders with the skills and knowledge needed to lead effectively during crises and to enhance organizational resilience to avoid, withstand and recover from crises.
