Impacts of COVID-19 on teaching practice and opportunities for virtual internships

Project website

The COVID-19 pandemic has introduced unprecedented disruptions to teaching and posed urgent questions regarding its impact on learners in all levels of education. This project seeks to explore how teachers work collaboratively with others and use technology to support students during the crisis, so as to identify essential skills, resources, and support that can enable teachers to act as agents of change in difficult times. The lessons learnt will inform the design of a virtual internship for trainee teachers who continue to face great uncertainty regarding school placements.
