The purpose of this exploratory study was to gain insight into the effect of COVID-19 on Virginia preservice teachers' efficacy. The current study compared teacher efficacy scores of two different cohorts. Cohort 1 completed the preservice teaching internship in 2017-2018, while Cohort 2 completed the preservice teaching internship during the 2019-2020 school year. Because of the impact of COVID-19, Cohort 2 had a shortened in-person preservice teaching internship due to schools moving to virtual learning. Using the Teacher Efficacy scale and open-response questions, the researchers compared efficacy scores of the two cohorts and gained insight from Cohort 2 on their thoughts moving forward as first-year teachers. The results found a significant difference in total teacher efficacy scores and classroom management efficacy scores between the two cohorts. The preservice teachers in Cohort 2 also shared their perceptions regarding the implementation of classroom management and the lack of practice within the classroom.
