Building on studies that measured teachers’ sense of efficacy for teaching online at the initial stages of the pandemic in the spring of 2020 (Barbour, Pressley, Dolighan & Owen …), this paper reflects on teachers’ efficacy and experiences of teaching online one year into the transition to emergency remote online teaching (ERT) during the COVID-19 pandemic. We examine the impact of prior experience teaching online, experience teaching online during the pandemic, and access to online training on teacher self-efficacy as they adapted to online learning. What became clear to us and others (Barbour, Pressley) was that teaching remotely online under emergency measures was different from normal online teaching. We found teachers’ willingness to collaborate with colleagues to solve issues affected teacher efficacy. Other findings revealed that access to technical and pedagogical support resources impacted teachers’ sense of efficacy and experience teaching online. We make recommendations for structuring teacher professional development (PD) to address the challenges and opportunities of designing effective online teaching and learning (OT&L) contexts that build capacity in schools to leverage OT&L for emergency remote learning, blended learning and eLearning modes of education.
