Research on teacher education and classroom teaching has evolved significantly in recent decades, with more research taking an international or intersectional lens. The International Study Association on Teachers and Teaching (ISATT) has moved with the field, beginning as a predominantly white European and North American organization in 1983, it now has active membership from more than 60 countries across the globe.
The ISATT 40th Anniversary Yearbook, presented over four volumes, reflects this growth through celebrating the contributions of ISATT members over time and offering current scholarly research to inform current and future teacher education and teaching. This volume, Teacher Education in the Wake of Covid-19, pays particular attention to ways in which teaching and teacher education have been impacted by, and respond to, advances in technology and to the coronavirus pandemic. The editors present chapters dedicated to the examining the tools of technology and how these intersect with and have potential within teaching and teacher education as we look to the future possibilities. A collection of chapters provide analysis of the lived reality of pivoting to embrace pandemic pedagogies; the pandemic and social relationships; assessment during the pandemic; and the consequences for equity and agency.
All four volumes that make up the 40th Anniversary Yearbook offer invaluable insights for teacher educators and educational researchers the world over, offering international perspectives from North America, Europe, South America, Asia, Africa, and Australia.
