Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper discusses the results of a case study investigating the COVID-19 pandemic response of three school leaders in regional primary schools in New Zealand. The leadership practices and decisions made by school leaders in crisis situations, particularly in schools with indigenous and minority students, is an ongoing area of interest for researchers. This study seeks to contribute to the literature in this area through the discussion of case study results that reveal similarities and differences between the leadership practices of school leaders which were influenced by context, technology access and social cohesion. Principals described the tensions they faced, their culturally appropriate responses, and the caring and adaptive leadership approaches required to support the wellbeing of students in a time of crisis.
