Introduction : emergency teaching and teacher leadership -- Something seems different -- The transformation of educator workforce and the teaching profession
Summary
"The author argues the COVID-19 pandemic has 'ripped the band-aid off the deep wounds in our education systems', laying bare issues such as inadequacies of one-size-fits-all school reforms: inadequate school financing for vulnerable communities and children; and a dramatic need for more collaboration among education, health and social agencies, to effectively reach and teach children. He concludes public schools everywhere are facing a future of rapid change, intensifying complexity and growing uncertainty. It is time, he believes, for teachers to learn from what has and has not worked during the pandemic and move to lead the future transformation of their profession." -- back cover
