Abstract:
Teachers and students are adjusting to an ever-changing world and so the field of teaching must readjust as well. As we prepare teacher candidates for this new world, we need to refocus on how to reach the most vulnerable students – those with specific and diverse needs. In this exploratory review, we examined the literature around current teaching practices in response to the question: What dimensions of teaching are essential for teaching diverse students in a post-Covidian world? We distilled six dimensions for teaching: rigor, relevance, relationships, responsiveness, reflection, and restoration (6 Rs) that will increase equity in our teaching.
