Amid a global pandemic, teachers have become even more vital, as they navigate how to help students adjust to distance learning and adapt to Covid-19 safety guidelines in their classrooms.
And World Teachers' Day -- which is held annually on October 5 -- aims to do just that. Many teachers said they are working as hard as they possibly can to make the best out of a tough situation."It's a different type of busy. There are no gaps, there are no breaks," said Diane Thompson, a high school biology teacher based in Nashville, Tennessee, where schools started the year remotely.
"Students are missing so many social interactions at this point and they're overwhelmed and they're tired," Thompson said. Teachers, she added, are also missing those"aha" moments they share with students. And yet, teachers are finding ways to break through the monotony of virtual classrooms.Sara Hovis, a kindergarten teacher in Center Valley, Pennsylvania, said despite the difficulties, said she has already seen her students growing their academic skills.
