Teacher Well-Being Through the COVID-19 Pandemic

Sun, April 14, 9:35 to 11:05am, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 100, Room 113A

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This panel offers a snapshot of teacher well-being through the COVID-19 pandemic. The studies utilize a mix of different methods and capture teachers’ experiences in different places and at different points in time over the past three years. Precise definitions of teacher well-being vary, and researchers often focus on one dimension rather than a holistic approach. This panel addresses different dimensions of teacher well-being and different points on the career continuum, helping to strengthen the field’s empirical foundation for and theoretical understanding of the issue. Finally, the studies offer useful insights for policymakers and practitioners seeking to improve teacher working conditions and well-being in general and hoping to strengthen teacher retention and recruitment in the wake of the pandemic.
