ABSTRACT

            The COVID -19 pandemic has changed the learning scenario in the country. Since the outbreak of the pandemic many EdTech companies have mushroomed, yet all of them in some form or the other are relying on teachers. Real classroom teachers on the other hand are facing flak and often being demoralized for situations beyond their control. The paper uses the research of Evans (1997, 1998, and 2001) to discuss a model of teacher morale within the Indian context and the present strategies to boost teacher morale during and after the COVID- 19 pandemic.

Keywords: Teacher morale, Team building, Teams, Student performance, Collaboration, Good Practices, Praxis.
