We've all been living in a pandemic for what feels like an eternity. But what is it like working in a pandemic - as a teacher?

The voices of teachers throughout the past year have been largely overlooked, so I am excited to be sharing this experience with you all. In-school teaching has had its ups and downs, twists and turns; and the events of this year haven't come without a price for both children and school staff alike.

This is the second episode where I have had a teacher on to discuss their experiences working during the COVID-19 pandemic. This episode discusses special education classes specifically, with Kaitlyn.
