Acknowledgments

We'd like to thank all of those teachers who gave their very precious time to talk to us about their experiences during the pandemic; without them, we would not have started to gain a critical insight and understanding of the pandemic and its impact on the education sector.

We'd also like to thank the British Academy for funding us through a Special Research Grant (Covid-19, 2020) early in the pandemic from which the data presented in Chapter 6 were captured, and Dr Emma Clarke for her contributions to the British Academy funded project.

Finally, we'd like to thank all at Emerald for making the process of creating this volume very easy and enjoyable.
