The sudden move to emergency remote teaching (ERT) during the pandemic prompted initial teacher education (ITE) programs to adapt quickly to new technologies and learning modalities. It posed challenges to teacher educators tasked with designing instruction that equips preservice teachers with the knowledge and skills essential for their future roles in the classroom. The shift to new modes of teaching and learning presents a valuable opportunity to examine the experiences of teacher educators and use key learning from this period to rethink the future of ITE. This paper expands on a dominant theme that emerged from a systematic review that sought to synthesize the experiences and practices of teacher educators in ITE during the COVID-19 pandemic. The review gathered peer-reviewed articles from three well-recognized educational databases, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). A theme on how the pandemic might influence and shape teacher education in the future emerged among 27 articles. This theme highlights key areas of focus and transformation in ITE to ensure that teacher educators are equipped to prepare future teachers with the skills necessary to meet the evolving educational challenges. The theme encompasses three critical aspects: the pandemic’s implications for teacher education, opportunities and advantages of the new learning modality, and recommendations for future research. The findings signify that teacher educators believe that the pandemic prompted changes to teacher education, which would have an impact on the various aspects of the teaching and learning process among future teachers.
