All stakeholders in schooling, including teacher educators, are slowly realizing that the pandemic has created a sea-change rather than a temporary discontinuity. The pandemic-as-endemic world is neither a return to pre-pandemic normal nor a new-normal. Instead, we are now in Oz rather than Kansas, and--contrary to what some parents, many politicians, and all technophobes are hoping--no magical red slippers can bring us back to where we were. Understanding why this is the case and what schooling must now become is essential to a "rich and strange" transformation of teacher education to meet new necessities--and opportunities.
