Abstract

On June 1 and 2, 2021, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine held a virtual workshop, Teaching and the Teaching Workforce Amid the Struggles of COVID-19 and for Racial Justice. The workshop was designed to revisit findings from the 2020 National Academies' report Changing Expectations for the K-12 Teacher Workforce: Policies, Preservice Education, Professional Development, and the Workplace, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Experts from the original study committee, as well other leading scholars on the teacher workforce, explored how the COVID-19 pandemic has changed (or not changed), what teachers need, and where the teacher workforce is vulnerable. This publication highlights the presentation and discussion of the workshop. [Erin Hammers Forstag served as Rapporteur. The Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education was a contributor to the proceedings.]
