Cover Story: Relationships are critical in teaching. This autoethnographic article focuses on one international elementary school teacher’s experience of teaching online in West Africa during COVID-19. Guided by the research question, “How did online learning impact my relationship with students?”, the author utilized writing as an inquiry approach to make sense of the challenging aspects of her online teaching experiences. This paper illustrates the meaning-making steps that the author explored to appreciate the nuances within specific moments that she encountered with her student and his father. This narrative inquiry into the complexity of educational relationships offers insights into the inner workings of teacher emotions and feelings. View this paper
