About the webinar:
The Covid-19 pandemic has shaken teachers’ understanding of learning and teaching as so many classrooms became virtual. A consequence of this shift to the virtual classroom could have been the return for many teachers of pedagogies more suited to ‘telling’ rather than student-centred if only because when managing challenge we often revert to teaching as we were taught (Alger, 2009). What has happened is that teachers have learnt to use online tools and adapt them for their teaching. This keynote does not consider what teachers have done but speculates through examining professional development and teacher education research as to how successful teachers have been able to adapt their pedagogies to support online teaching. It explores new skills teachers may have needed to learn, considers limitations due to resources and examines the characteristics of initial and in-service teacher education which may have facilitated this positive response to the pandemic. The outcomes of this reflection identify that professional development needs to be situated in the educational setting, is reflective in nature and uses research to underpin the knowledge and skills development of participant teachers.
