The impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on public education systems around the world has been both rapid and profound. The global onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, and ensuing cancellation of face-to-face kindergarten to grade 12 (K-12) classes across Canada, has created the need to document and research its immediate impacts by means of a Canadian Teachers' Federation (CTF/FCE) national teacher survey. The results of this survey summarized in this report, will assist the CTF/FCE and all provincial and territorial Member Organizations (MOs) in advocating for appropriate supports, policies, and programs as school buildings reopen, and in the event of future crises. Information collected from this survey will assist the CTF/FCE and its MOs in determining how to most effectively meet the needs of members in the transition back into K-12 public school buildings, and in navigating future crises that result in the closure of school buildings. This survey encompasses four key areas regarding teachers' experiences during this pandemic: (1) Well-Being and Equity; (2) Technology Use and Online Instruction; (3) Pedagogy and the Profession of Teaching; and (4) Return to Public School Buildings.
