Abstract
The COVID-19 virus hit during the All State Professional Development Conference in
Boston. While at the conference, I heard that concerts were being canceled. However, at that
moment, I didn’t feel like it would amount to anything serious. One week later I learned that no
one would return, in a physical sense, to their schools.
At the beginning of the Spring term, ten student teachers from Boston University had
placements in the public schools. At mid-term, most students had their second placements
canceled entirely. Kel Kim and Sab Scotti shared their experiences.
