Abstract:

“Teacher educators, preservice candidates, and in-service teachers are greatly challenged by the COVID-19 pandemic. Since March 2020, teacher educators have been engaged in serious heavy lifting to minimize the impact of school closures, canceled student teaching, and postponed teaching abroad programs. They have spent hours moving instruction online and supporting the educational and emotional needs of their students. Best practices that ensure a smooth transition to remote learning, engage preservice teachers in online learning, and provide professional learning opportunities to teacher educators emerged organically during this process. The collective efforts are worthy of documenting and have been highlighted in this paper. Professional development strategies used to facilitate the transition and sustainability of remote learning in our teacher education program are discussed.”
