The “sticky bits” - What we learned from teaching in the pandemic

What practices will “stick” after pandemic instruction?

This study in Southwest Horizon School Division focused on the experiential reflections of 8 class-room teachers. The participants shared their knowledge, gained from their experiences, of teaching in a pandemic. They related their stories from the moment that remote learning was announced by the Manitoba Provincial Government in March of 2020 through to the time that the data was collected in January and February of 2021. At the point of data collection, the pandemic was still in a critical phase and the transcripts illustrated the full emotional toil of the responsibilities that teachers as frontline workers experienced. The wisdom that they shared helped to document their experiences and to create a record of their growth that was born of teaching through the challenges that were posed during the COVID-19 pandemic.
