This
collection explores the changing meaning and enactments of care in
teacher education in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, from preservice
teachers and teacher candidates to in-service teachers and education
faculty.
Over fifty international teacher educators
explore the complicated concept of care in different content areas,
learning contexts, and communities of learners, using different
conceptual frameworks and methodological orientations. Throughout, this
book situates research and reflection at the nexus of teacher education,
care, and COVID-19 in order to reconstruct care in post-pandemic
teacher education.
Timely and incisive, this
collection raises important questions and offers relevant examinations
to consider how post-pandemic teacher education as a field will move
forward in preparing and caring for those who will, in turn, care for
their future students. The book is essential reading for teacher
educators, scholars, and anyone interested in the notion of care in
education.
