It’s clear that it will be quite some time before COVID stops affecting our schools. Knowing we’re in it for the long haul, we need to find ways of working that are more sustainable, that allow for balance. This issue is all about that balance between the professional and the personal. We’ll introduce you to school leaders who have navigated that tension, from Dr. Bob Hunt, whose experience as the father of a cancer survivor impacted his response to the pandemic, to Dr. Jill Siler, who literally wrote the book on thriving through difficult times. We’ll also examine the complexities of blending family life with school leadership and envision a more accessible superintendency.
