Abstract

In this chapter, the authors present reflections on survey data completed by spring 2020 student teachers whose placement was interrupted by the early months of the COVID-19 crisis. The authors studied three phenomena of interest. First, how prepared the spring 2020 student teachers feel they were during the mandated switch to virtual instruction. Second, what were the specific concerns and triumphs of student teachers during this time period? And third, what do student teachers think their program should do to prepare future teachers for the situation in which they found themselves? The study found that respondents were less concerned with skills and tools related to technology and more in need of practice considering the expectations and accountability requirements in virtual learning. In addition, the survey revealed areas of concern related to social emotional learning, suggesting intentional coursework in these strategies would benefit future teachers in times of uncertainty.
