New Publication: Explorations in Teacher Development (Vol. 27, 2) – Special Edition

The JALT TD SIG has just published a special Teacher Journeys 2020 issue of the Explorations in Teacher Development journal.
This special edition features 16 highly practical, informative, and personal narratives of issues relating to emergency remote teaching. Our aim with this collection of papers is to not only further document the unique situation that we have found ourselves in over the past year for posterity purposes, but to provide a resource through which we can learn from one another’s experiences.
The papers follow a unified format, with each contribution opening with a short vignette to set the scene and establish the educational context being reflected upon. Following this, authors propose a set of objectives for how their stories could be used by others. The authors then expand upon these objectives by suggesting a variety of detailed practical implications, all aimed at supporting fellow teachers through offering usable ideas for the classroom or general guidance. Finally, each writer concludes their papers with a reflective statement in which they take stock of their experiences from 2020 and make plans for the future.
The issue is publicly accessible for free here: https://td.jalt.org/index.php/latest-issue/
