As educators around the world respond to the global COVID-19 pandemic, the Journal of Professional Capital and Community (JPCC), the International Congress for School Effectiveness and Improvement (ICSEI), and the ARC Education Project have collaboratively launched a special issue of JPCC: Professionalism in the Pandemic.

The purpose of this special issue is to create a scholarly forum for sharing perspectives from around the world about how educators in classrooms, schools, school systems, and broader communities are innovatively, creatively, and productively responding to this unfolding crisis. 

VIDEO CONTENT AVAILABLE

To support and supplement this special themed issue you can watch Martin Scanlan, Editor-in-chief of the Journal of Capital and Community, talk with experts Alma Harris, Pak Tee Ng, and Pasi Sahlberg about professionalism in the pandemic.
