Conversations that matter: Rethinking teaching and teacher education in a post pandemic world
The 2022 summit prompted participants to have conversations that matter; to collaborate, connect and collectively prioritise our preferred new normal through innovative disruption. Assumptions about initial teacher education can be considered and reframed. Hybridity, flexibility, adaptability, and relational capital, built through collaborations within and between institutions, sectors and key stakeholders during the initial period of disruption, now provides a fertile field for growth and innovation.
Goals
The 2022 summit was an opportunity to engage and consider ways of working, learning and collaborating. Of central concern will be the newly emergent social, psychological and pedagogical needs of young people in schools and the educators who work with them, as they navigate the new normal ahead. Our aim was to discuss, debate and design actions of priority and aspirations of value. Our processes explored what change is desired, what should be the same, where snapback is to be avoided, and how we can most effectively contribute to a strengthened profession. Our outcomes will point to strategies that ensure initial teacher education continues to flourish, and that graduates are prepared to survive and thrive as future members of the teaching profession.
