Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic led educators to quickly pivot to continue teaching. Negative effects include exacerbated academic achievement gaps between SES groups, less access to health services, aggravated digital divides, widened academic achievement gaps, and enormously interrupted the education processes. Positive changes include educator optimism for digital portfolios, simulated lesson planning, and delivery; supports for social-emotional engagement; seamless transitions to remote learning; and seeing recalcitrant individuals revise and adapt teaching formats, relationship-building, increased quality online education, and motivation to try innovations. Relational humanity is an integral part of the faculty-student relationship; showing students they matter as humans and deepening relationships with them is a humanitarian act. The pivot forced variations, created disequilibrium, celebrated innovations, and yielded creative delivery models. Faculty are now re-examining their content and delivery in the spirit of creating an improved student experience for all modalities of instruction.
