I know my name is on the byline, but for an entire week, I had 4 or 5 editors working on the story. I was able to get assistance with photos and layout. Two people worked through the data. The engagement team created a social media strategy and is working to reach parents.

#TeacherAppreciationWeek is here. But after more than a year of disrupted learning due to the coronavirus, a week of festivities feels both needed and insufficient.

If the pandemic made one thing clear, it’s that educators are more than just teachers at the front of classrooms.
