What is Affirmation

This chapter is about the nature of COVID-19 recovery and what teachers can do to support themselves and their students through these challenging times. The nourishment and well-being of teachers is necessary so they can support students as they focus on meeting their learning goals. The pandemic has created many new obstacles that must be overcome in order to come out triumphantly on the other side. This chapter provides a wide variety of research-based approaches for teachers to implement that take into account the mind, body, and spirit. Recommendations, considerations, and tips for going back to the classroom, whether virtual or online, are also addressed.
