SUMMARY

The global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related closures in spring 2020 was an unprecedented challenge for higher education broadly and social work education specifically. Universities struggled to synthesize rapidly changing information and public health guidance, working to ensure the safety of students while maintaining the fidelity of their educational programs. Classes rapidly transitioned to online delivery-whether or not instructors and students had the basic infrastructure and preparation to maximize learning in this modality. One study of 897 faculty at 672 U.S. institutions of higher education found that nearly all of them transitioned to emergency methods for teaching and learning which largely encompassed online approaches (Johnson et al. 2020). Most reported the need to modify assignments and expectations as well as the adoption of new instructional methods. While many were able to navigate these challenges, they identified ongoing needs for increased student supports, access to digital materials for learning, and support for navigating the realities of working from home (Johnson et al. 2020).
