Abstract
This study aims to explore how school leaders applied resilience in order to cope with the Covid-19 pandemic. This qualitative study used semistructured interviews with 26 school leaders. Results yielded three main manners of applying resilience: (a) be proactive, pragmatic, and creative; (b) find meaning and set goals; (c) lead the emotional climate. The study can contribute to the scholarly understanding of leaders’ resilience in crisis times as well as to professional development programs for nurturing resilience among school leaders.
