Abstract
School crises, ranging from individual incidents to community-wide disruptions, can occur on or off campuses. The COVID-19 pandemic, the most extensive educational disruption in history, affected over 1.6 billion students globally (UNSDG, n.d.). Reading, a complex process, poses challenges for about 20% of elementary students nationwide (Moats, 2020). Thus, ensuring reading instruction during crises is crucial.
This study explores reading interventions during the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on Minnesota elementary principals' perspectives. Through interviews, the research delves into their operational practices and strategies. Principals faced significant challenges, prioritizing the survival of institutions, staff safety, and supporting students and families. The study highlights the pandemic's profound impact on educational leadership, emphasizing the need for comprehensive preparedness. Principals navigated safety protocols, remote learning transitions, and resource access, revealing a crucial need for collaboration with internet providers, policy reviews, enhanced instructional leadership, and comprehensive emergency readiness to ensure adaptability and resilience in the face of future challenges.
