Abstract
The new teacher reflections in “The Value of a Teacher’s Life” explore the current pressures teachers are under and the importance they have found in self-care while teaching during COVID-19. These are teachers struggling to stay healthy, wondering if teaching is sustainable, staying up late to meet the needs of students, and learning to teach in new ways. Their stories of isolation, mental health issues, personal loss, and illness speak to the trauma in our communities at this time.
