excited as the South African Council for Educators to bring this resource to you and hope that you will find it informative and useful. We asked some of our educators to contribute to this newsletter and narrate their reflections of how they have navigated the teaching and learning environment during the pandemic. COVID-19 brought some fears, grief, threats, disillusionment and concerns in the education system and the teaching profession in particular. Consequently, these had a bearing on educators as a collective and individuals. Therefore, it was important for SACE to allow teachers to reflect on their experiences and the lessons they now carry. From Principals, Heads of Departments and teachers, their reflections are inspiring and give the public hope that the teaching profession is really in good hands. The innovative ways in which our teachers have ensured that teaching and learning continues despite the disruptions brought on by the pandemic, which further exposed the vast inequalities in our education system was proof that when one applies themselves and commits to finding a solution anything is possible. As Council we continue to advocate for the values which are and should be the footprint to conduct ourselves in the profession and so the article on Upholding Ethical Standards in the Teaching Profession is a reminder of how we should continuously carry ourselves in our work environments and personal lives in order to inspire a credible teaching profession.  \nWe then end of by detailing the journey of the handbook on Teachers Safety and Security in South African Schools which started with the Teachers’ Rights, Responsibilities and Safety programme. The completion of the handbook would not have been possible without the support from our esteemed teachers’, the profession is really rich with you in it. Teachers’ safety is of paramount importance fora number of reasons, including but not limited to the fact that; teachers not only provide academic knowledge, they also play an integral part in promoting social cohesiveness among learners. Thus, the handbook was much needed in the profession.
