ABSTRACT
This chapter is situated in a research study which examined the reimagination of care for teacher candidates in an online format during the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing from Jacqueline Woodson’s novel Harbor Me, the author introduces the concept of ‘harboring’ as a framework for reclaiming humanity and connecting with one another in new ways. The chapter details the concept of harboring, using found poems on teacher candidates’ experiences of care, and makes suggestions for how care can be enacted in teacher education in the post-pandemic classroom based on the teacher candidates’ experiences with harboring.
