COVID-19 has affected all of our lives, and for educators in particular it has been challenging to find ways to maintain a positive classroom community through distance learning and sustain student engagement, all while helping students to recognize and appropriately manage the emotions they may be experiencing.
We are acutely aware that educators have had to pivot their practices and are looking for solutions to obstacles that they have not before encountered nor imagined. With this in mind, for our April 2020 issue, we have revisited some articles from past issues and updated them with new ways to support students’ social and emotional well-being during this time. We are also providing updated accompanying downloadable resources to reflect the shift to remote learning.
Our goal with this Journal issue is to provide the tools and information you need to maintain positive learning communities as we navigate the COVID-19 pandemic together.
