The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted educational institutions globally. The disruption impacted delivery and teacher wellness—a drastic shift from traditional teaching to hybrid and online models without adequate teacher preparation and training. Schools implemented different platforms to support the paradigm shift. These shifts caused by COVID-19 have lasting positive and negative impacts on educators, educator preparation programs, P-12 students, and the overall wellness of teachers and students. This chapter addresses the pedagogical shifts and impact of educator wellness (physically, mentally, and emotionally) caused by the pandemic. The study's findings indicate that the adjustments made by teachers and students will improve communication, collaboration, and teaching with technology skills. The shift to remote learning further strengthened the relationships between teachers and families. Finally, the chapter addresses the importance of teacher wellness and self-care. |
