Teachers were more stressed than everyone else working during pandemic

Veteran school teacher Stephanie Woolley-Larrera has gained years of experience since her inaugural year at the front of a classroom 26 years ago, yet the past school year marked many firsts for her.

For one, Woolley-Larrera, who teaches at Coral Reef Senior High School in Miami, had never taught from a stationary position in the corner of her classroom, where she was tethered to her computer in order to address students seated both in front of her and tuned into class remotely. "I learned more this year since I have since my first year teaching. It was transformative," she said of teaching high school during the COVID-19 pandemic.
