• In Event: Enabling Support Pathways Despite a Pandemic Across the World

Abstract

This study utilized qualitative data analysis to develop a triarchic model of academic resilience and examine education policy developments across Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic. More specifically, the study explicates the nature and scope of Canadian policy responses to the global pandemic that address academic, physical health and well-being, and mental health issues for K-12 students. The pan-Canadian analysis examined policy documents that were issued between January 2020 to December 2021 to support academic resilience. The discussion provides an analysis of the rigor of contemporary policy interventions and outlines the implications for policymakers within and outside of Canada.
