| Abstract: |
In 2023, teachers continued to experience reverberations from the COVID-19 pandemic. The closure of schools across the United States required the adaptation of classrooms and a dynamic shift in the practices of teachers. As the pandemic subsided, this project sought to understand the ways that instructional practice, interactions with students and parents, and professional expectations have changed for classroom educators. Further, it addressed the need for teacher preparation programs to prepare preservice educators for the post-pandemic classroom environment. Subjects for the focus group were recruited on a volunteer basis from schools within one school district in north Louisiana. Participants discussed shifts in teaching practices, interactions with students and parents, and professional expectations of teachers in the post-pandemic classroom. They also identified changes related to student maturity levels and emotional stability, student behavioral issues, student accountability, student engagement and motivation, student absenteeism and expectations around makeup assignments, use of technology, and parental involvement. These changes cause professional and personal concerns among teachers. |
