On 30 January 2020, the WHO declared the outbreak as a ‘Public Health Emergency of International Concern‘ and it was finally characterized as a global pandemic on 11 March 2020. As the pandemic has swept across the globe, every aspect of our lives has been permeated, resulting in political, social, and economic upheaval. Governments across the world have responded to the global pandemic in discrete ways and these responses have caused dramatic but different effects on the way people have conducted their daily lives, influencing health, work, commerce, travel, socializing and schooling. As we manage within the crisis, and start to emerge from it, our lives and societies are destined to be changed forever. Dr. Jenene Burke, President-Elect of WFATE, agreed to guest edit this issue of the Journal of the World Federation of Associations for Teacher Education. The first article sets the stage for the remainder of the issue and the concluding article wraps it up and looks to the future. WFATE is so appreciative of her work and the insights each article brings to the issues of a pandemic and teacher education at all levels. The next big news is that the 6th Biennial Conference of the World Federation of Associations for Teacher Education will be held from 12-14 November 2021 and it will be a virtual (on-line) conference. The call for papers is on the WFATE website (https://www/worldfate.org) and is open now. We will work hard to make the conference accessible to all areas of the world. We owe a debt of gratitude to Dr. Elizabeth Ward and Dr. Debby Shulsky (co-chairs of the conference) and Dr. Paul Paese (President of WFATE) for their work on switching to on-line and generating the themes and subthemes. The description follows the Editor’s Column.
