Résumé

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, public health agencies and school boards across Canada enacted new protocols, including face masks, physical distancing and enhanced hygiene, to support the safe reopening of in-person school. This study explored the experiences and perceptions of teachers instructing children and adolescents in person during a two-day school simulation. This study was part of a large school simulation exercise conducted in Toronto, Ontario. Kindergarten to grade 12 teachers taught in classrooms with either masked students, or students who were un-masked or only masked when physical distancing was not possible. A qualitative descriptive phenomenology approach was utilized, and data were collected via virtual focus groups. Qualitative data analysis involved multiple rounds of inductive coding to generate themes. The sample included 14 teachers (92.9% female; 85.7% White), with a median of 9.5 years teaching experience. Three primary themes emerged: 1) As schools transition to in-person instruction, teachers will be required to play dual roles in education and public health, with implications on safety, teaching and professional identity. Public health agencies and school boards are encouraged to engage teachers in ongoing conversations regarding in-person school planning and operations. Furthermore, evidence-based interventions, including increased teaching development programs, are recommended to support teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Conséquemment à la pandémie de la COVID-19, les organismes de santé publique et les conseils scolaires de tout le Canada ont mis en œuvre de nouveaux protocoles, notamment des masques, une distanciation physique et une hygiène accrue, afin de soutenir la réouverture prudente de l’école en personne. La présente étude a exploré les expériences et les perceptions des professeurs instruisant les enfants et les adolescents en personne durant une simulation scolaire de deux jours. La présente étude faisait partie d’un grand exercice de simulation scolaire mené à Toronto, Ontario. Les professeurs de la maternelle à la 12 L’échantillon comportait 14 professeurs (92,9 % de sexe féminin; 85,7 % Blancs), avec une moyenne de 9,5 années d’expérience d’enseignement. Trois principaux thèmes ont émergé : 1) Tandis que les écoles font la transition à l’enseignement en personne, les professeurs devront assumer des doubles rôles en éducation et en santé publique, impliquant la sécurité, l’enseignement et l’identité professionnelle. Les organismes de santé publique et les conseils scolaires sont invités à faire participer les professeurs à des conversations actuelles relativement à la planification et aux activités de l’école en personne. En outre, les interventions fondées sur des données probantes, notamment les programmes accrus de développement de l’enseignement, sont recommandées pour soutenir les professeurs durant la pandémie de la COVID-19.
