In this year's report on the Condition of Education in the Commonwealth (COE), the Rennie Center seeks to highlight how educators can be empowered to effectively meet the academic and social-emotional needs of their students in 2022 and beyond. The report relays findings from research on immediate supports to address student needs in the wake of COVID-19, ongoing supports that facilitate continuous learning and growth, and, finally, strategies for preparing prospective teachers to address the long-term effects of the pandemic. Too often, even pre-COVID, educators have been relied upon to drive improvements in the education system by taking on new responsibilities and adjusting their practice with little input, agency, or support. The aim of this report is to shift that narrative, looking not at what teachers can or should do but at how investing in educators can lead to better, more sustainable practices, now and in the future.
