The pandemic has vividly demonstrated multiple challenges in teaching and learning that have highlighted not only the need for alternate teaching formats and strategies but also the need for an enhanced understanding of the diverse needs of learners. This book focuses upon the personal as well as instructional challenges invoked by the multiple outcomes of the pandemic extending well beyond health. The pandemic has made explicit the need for a more sensitive understanding of the consequences of stress and heightened awareness of trauma-informed and restorative educational practices. The social limitations imposed by isolation throughout the health crisis have intensified the importance of addressing the social and emotional, as well as academic, needs of students of all ages. Teaching the "whole child" is a key underlying approach to facilitate maximum learning following this tumultuous time that is still not over.

This publication examines the extensive transformational changes that have occurred and provides strategies to understand and address them. It is undeniable that education has been impacted by the events of the last two years. Educators require the evolving understandings of what teaching and learning means now, following two years of an unexpected upheaval to all manifestations of education.
