In March of 2019, our daily lives were upended by the COVID
pandemic and subsequent school closures. With work and school
shifting online, a new and ongoing set of demands has been placed
on parents as school moved to online, virtual and hybrid models of
learning. Families need to balance professional responsibilities
with parenting and supporting their children's education. As
education professors, we find ourselves in a particular position as
our expertise collides with the reality of schooling our own
children in our homes during a global pandemic. This book focuses
on the experiences of education faculty who navigate this
relationship as pandemic professionals and pandemic parents. In
this collection of personal essays, we explore parenting in the
pandemic among education professors. Through our stories, we share
our perspectives on this moment of upheaval, as we find ourselves
confronting practical (and impractical) aspects of long held
theories about what school could be, seeing up close and personally
the pedagogy our children endure online, watching education policy
go awry in our own living rooms (and kitchens and bathrooms),
making high-stakes decisions about our children's (and other
children's) access to opportunity, and trying to maintain our
careers at the same time. In this collision of personal and
professional identities, we find ourselves reflecting on
fundamental questions about the purpose and design of schooling,
the value of our work as education professors, and the precious
relationships we hope to maintain with our children through this
difficult time.
