When and how schools will open will vary by district, but it’s clear that teachers will play an influential role in communicating the importance behind new health and safety measures, promoting them, and enforcing them on a daily basis.

The International WELL Building Institute has developed the COVID-19 Teacher Training, making it widely available free of charge to teachers and school districts across the country. The training was designed to help teachers be both educators and role models in our COVID-19 world. The recommendations included in the training will enable teachers to introduce new content into the classroom and suggests education opportunities for students whose full participation and compliance will be necessary for the best outcomes.
