Dr. Audrey Church Ph.D.: In the field of education, skills that will become even more important and prevalent are really at, what I would consider, opposite ends of a spectrum: at one end, interpersonal skills--strength and knowledge in the areas of social and emotional learning and trauma-informed teaching; at the other end, technology skills-refining and enhancing information literacy and digital literacy skills.

Brad Smith: There has, for some time, been a significant teacher shortage in many areas across the country. In NC, educator recruitment initiatives of all types exist in school districts, state agencies, and colleges and universities. Still, it's not uncommon for schools to begin the academic year with vacancies. I recommend that individuals interested in a teaching career review the licensing requirements in their state and speak with an advisor at a state-approved and accredited teacher education program to understand their options. Many states, NC included, have processes in place that make it possible for individuals who hold a bachelor's degree to begin teaching while they complete licensure coursework, creating a smoother transition for those changing careers. Teaching is an absolutely incredible profession. Your future students need you!

Janine Davis Ph.D.: For our teacher education graduates, the impact of the pandemic will most likely work in their favor when it comes to finding jobs-the pandemic has led to many retirements, which will mean that we will need even more teachers to fill those empty positions. At the same time, the advent of increased virtual learning means that it will no longer be an option that teachers know and use technology, including teaching online and using learning management and data analysis systems-those skills will almost certainly be a non-negotiable for future teaching positions. Finally, I think that this event has highlighted the importance of working as part of a team of teachers and other school leaders.
