Teacher education post-Covid
lessons learned from the experience of teacher educators

Teacher Education. Covid-19. Teacher Educators, Change.Abstract
The Covid-19 pandemic caught educational systems unprepared all over the world. In this paper we examine how teacher educators from Portugal and Norway expanded their learning during Covid times and possible continuities post-Covid. 10 teacher educators from each of the two countries responded in writing to a brief questionnaire exploring their experiences and perspectives on the future of teacher education. The findings are discussed in relation to existing literature. When planning for the future, we argue that there is a need to rethink how teacher education (structure and venues) should change in response to lessons learned from the lockdowns. A central question is what teacher educators need to learn to model teaching for an unknown future.
