Modeling school managers challenges in the pandemic era with Bayesian networks

Due to the dramatic health situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the emergency remote teaching during lockdown lasted longer in Italy than in other countries. The scholastic pattern has been deeply shocked by the mandatory teaching modalities requiring digital transformation processes in a framework where the digital divide is deep. Organizational processes have been reshaped with an amazing effort of school managers, often moved by personal initiatives. The paper shows results of a multitarget research carried out during the Italian lockdown aiming at animating the debate around school from multi-actors perspectives and at supporting policies. Here, we focus on the managerial challenges that may have been useful for improving the setting up of internal processes.
