The pandemic necessitated alternative ways of thinking about how to do Teaching Practice safely but would still result in meaningful practice-based learning. For several years, teacher educators and the Department of Higher Education and Training have considered setting up a national Teaching Practice initiative. The pandemic meant it was time to put the thinking into action. No one university had the resources or capacity to put a module like this together on its own, and so a team convened to lead the project.
