Preparing educators during COVID-19: Lessons learned and new challenges for Fall 2020

Educator Preparation Laboratory (EdPrepLab) third in a series of four webinars on effective teacher and leader preparation. Panelists discuss how educator preparation has been shaped by the experiences of the spring and the demands of the new school year. The discussion will also address how programs are continually reimagining their structures and practices even as they maintain a focus on key commitments to deeper learning and equity. Questions addressed will include:

• How are programs applying what they learned during the spring school shutdowns to adapt to emerging conditions in the fall?
• How are programs continuing to adapt to new challenges including remote and hybrid school start-ups, social distancing requirements, and students’ social-emotional needs?
• How are programs positioning themselves, and their teacher and leader candidates, as assets for pk-12 schools in providing equitable deeper learning opportunities for all students?
