Abstract

This study explores how school leadership managed their schools during the COVID-19 pandemic. It also explores how school leaders adapted their leadership practices to the crisis by implementing virtual practices and technology. The study focuses on two secondary schools in North Macedonia, using semi-structured qualitative and quantitative research methods to collect data from school leadership and teachers through interviews and questionnaires. Results showed that the roles of school leaders were critical in managing the unpredictable situation and completing the school year successfully. The leaders demonstrated strong crisis management skills and distributive leadership, working closely with teachers and pupils to shift the teaching and learning process from onsite to online. This study highlights the importance of effective school leadership during a crisis.
