Staying Resilient: The Simple Pleasures

Editor’s note: Learning in the Time of Coronavirus is a multi-part video interview series where, in each episode, we interview folks with a unique perspective on how Covid-19 is affecting education across the world – and how we can keep learning in spite of it.

Dr. Mary Jane Pearson, Chief Academic Officer, led the development of the highly-sought-after master’s degree that features a concentration in trauma-informed practices with resources and tools to foster resilience in children and teacher self-care and wellness. Dr. Pearson talks with us about resilience and how, right now, it’s vital to turn to the simple pleasures to keep us grounded.
