If there is a silver lining to COVID-19 it is the increased awareness and importance of mental health for our teachers, students, and their families/caregivers. The tension created between new social distance protocols and the need to connect and build relationships is heightened, with many not equipped to lower the stress for meaningful teaching and learning to occur in school or in a remote environment. At the same time, school communities and society at large are facing the pandemic of centuries of racism that is harmful to students, particularly Black, Indigenous and students of Color.

What are the strategies that need to be put in place to nurture the growth of each student, their family/caregivers, and teachers during these times? How can we evolve to be culturally responsive in our schools and communities? In this edWeb podcast:

• Learn about key self-care tips not only for students, but adults, too
• Discover how school districts can encourage self-care and mindfulness in their communities of teachers and learners
• Hear what parents can do at home to foster self-care and mindfulness
• Examine how being student-centered can promote culturally responsive teaching.

This edWeb podcast is of interest to teachers, librarians, and school and district leaders of all levels.
