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

In this webinar, AACTE and the EdPrepLab, an initiative of LPI and Bank Street Graduate School of Education, will share lessons learned from the spring on effective teacher and leader preparation strategies during COVID-19. The panel members 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:

1. How are programs applying what they learned during the school shutdowns in the spring to adapt to emerging conditions in the fall?
2. How are programs continuing to adapt to new challenges, including remote and hybrid school start-ups, social distancing requirements, and students’ social-emotional needs?
3. 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?
