This work focuses on adjustments made for the  \nMFE to function in an online environment during remote instruction caused by a worldwide  \npandemic. Teacher candidates completed a learning cycle focused on experiencing mathematics  \nas a learner, planning for mathematics instruction, implementing mathematics instruction, and  \nanalyzing teaching episodes alongside a mathematics teacher who is also the mathematics  \nteacher educator for a methods course. Teacher candidates reflected on this experience  \npositively, noting the benefits of learning how to teach effectively online in a safe and supportive  \nenvironment. This paper will share the highlights and challenges for the mathematics teacher  \neducator regarding the shifting of pedagogy to meet the current educational climate.  \nIntroduction  \nClinical field experiences have been a key tenet of teacher education for decades. The frequency and structure for clinical field experiences have adapted and become more sophisticated over time to better suit both K-12 partners and institutions of higher education. In many fields such as medicine, or even sports, practice is an essential component of preparation to show expertise in the field. This is especially true in teacher education. Teacher educators  \ncontinue to advocate for avenues of enactment for teacher candidates to connect theory and  \npractice through engaging in the act of teaching (e.g., Grossman et al., 2009; McDonald et al.,  \n2013). According to the American Association for Colleges of Teacher Education (AACTE,  \n2018), clinical practice is defined with an emphasis on authentic setting and opportunities for  \ncandidates to engage with pedagogical practices. Embedding university courses within K-12  \nschools where teacher candidates have opportunities to genuinely engage in clinical experiences  \nwith the support of a mathematics teacher educator (MTE) is one model to support the  \ndevelopment of both pedagogy and content knowledge. In this paper I describe the intersection  \nof clinical experience intertwined with university coursework as “mediated field experience”  \n(MFE) (Horn & Campbell, 2015) .
