ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic challenged educators to shift their practices and utilize technology to reach and teach learners at a distance. This study presents data collected in situ from 265 K-12 educators who adapted their practices during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. Findings revealed that educators relied on multiple areas of growth, including cognitive, social, affective, and identity, to successfully navigate their new teaching situations. Using a “whole teacher” lens, we examine the lessons educators learned as they sought to make emergency remote teaching work and their recommendations for future emergency education situations.
