Abstract
This chapter provides context for teacher preparation programs to adjust their approach based on the lessons learned from emergency remote and hybrid instruction necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic. This research makes reference to the TPACK framework and its impact on educator training and is framed on Bandura's theory of self-efficacy. A list of post-pandemic skills that teachers need is discussed, followed by suggestions for teacher preparation programs to address those skills. Any changes in teacher preparation programs must also be met with support for faculty of those programs. Finally, further research is suggested and discussed.
