How teachers are leaning on each other to stay resilient during COVID-19

For the first time in her decade of teaching, Coral Zayas is eating lunch every day. It may sound small, but for her, it’s a major victory. “I don’t normally eat three meals a day, because I’m usually working and don’t even think about it,” Zayas said in September. In addition to her new lunch routine, Zayas, who teaches STEM and social studies at a public school in Leander, Texas, has set a regular time when she turns off her computer at night. “I’m working really hard to put what is in my brain of what balance looks like into reality,” she said.
