Abstract: The global pandemic significantly affected teacher training programs, specifically professional experience in schools. The past two years of teacher education have necessitated the innovation and adaption of traditional programs to ensure pre-service teachers’ preparation and readiness to enter schools as graduates in Australia. This case report explores the creation and implementation of three innovations that were used to support pre-service teachers who undertook a remote and flexible learning placement due to school closures. The report presents the process implemented to best support the pre-service teachers and school mentors to deal with the disruption to professional experience caused.
