Navigating Crisis with Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity in Mind

Abstract

This essay briefly explores the challenges faced by international educators and administrators during the initial shift to online learning in March 2020. It discusses how the VUCA leadership model was adapted to the school environment to help manage the rapid and unpredictable change associated with the global pandemic. The essay explores ways in which Cairo American College adapted to the new challenges, implementing a paradigm shift to enable the school to focus on diversity, inclusion, and the well-being of staff and students.
