Abstract
The global COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically changed the scope of teaching and leading and has had negative effects on the academic outcomes for students. As a result of stress-induced demands provoked by this pandemic, school leaders are at an increased risk for physical, emotional, and mental health challenges. Recent studies about the pandemic's psychological impact on the general population reveal increased depression and stress levels. This chapter discusses ways university educational leadership programs can integrate self-care using mindfulness practice to effectively prepare aspiring school leaders. Practical approaches and resources for university programs are provided. In addition to suggestions for practical application, this chapter also discusses recommendations for universities and school districts regarding self-care for school leaders.
