The global COVID-19 pandemic fundamentally changed education as we know it. Globally, billions of learners at all levels were affected by months of rolling school closures and other severe pandemic restrictions to daily life. Magnifying issues of educational equity, access, and opportunity, this unprecedented global crisis forced Deans, and academic and professional staff in schools of education to make decisions for learning, teaching, research, and engagement in a fast-changing landscape. These decisions reshaped schools of education and the lives and experiences of staff and students in powerful ways.Building a Better Normal captures education scholars’ reflections on the decision-making and impacts of their experiences from 2020 to 2023. Uniquely, the volume brings together Education Deans and scholars from Universitas 21 institutions. Drawing on case studies and narrative reflections, the contributors offer crucial insights that can guide higher education and schools of education on structural and conceptual shifts in approaches to leadership, research, teaching, learning, and student and staff well-being.The COVID-19 pandemic is a generation-defining event that will echo in the actions of teachers and researchers for years, allowing us to redefine the landscape of education for a better normal.

The collegiality of the Universitas 21 Deans of Education group and their mentorship of FINE (Forum for International Networking and Education) was the springboard for this insightful book, containing an inspiring collection of educational initiatives. It focuses on how Schools of Education in the U21 network grappled with and got through the COVID-19 pandemic, for example how they could quickly adopt new technologies without compromising educational quality.Each chapter focuses on a different and innovative response to education during the pandemic and its aftermath, capturing a unique moment in our history and the magnified issues around equity, access, educational opportunity and mental health that came to the fore during this time.Alongside the expertise highlighted within each chapter, this book also importantly provided mentorship opportunities for Graduate and Early Career Researchers in FINE to co-edit and produce the publication.This book furthers our understanding of how in our new normal, Schools of Education can provide the resilience for students and educators to thrive in the years ahead. I warmly recommend this book to those engaged in education to explore what can be achieved when change is the only constant.
