ABSTRACT

The Covid-19 pandemic means that teachers have faced significant stressors in relation to their work. They have been called upon to support students’ academic development and wellbeing throughout the transition to online teaching and learning, while navigating adversity and stress in their own lives. Using the AI Resilience framework, this study focuses on the stories of ten pre-service (future) teachers, navigating through Covid-19, and their resilience following the early waves of the pandemic as they work toward becoming fully licensed professionals.
