Since late March schools across England have been closed to most pupils due to the coronavirus pandemic. This podcast explores how schools and teachers are managing the challenges of providing remote learning in maths, supporting students and looking after their own well-being in an unprecedented situation.
Provision of mass remote learning is new to all teachers – where we might normally turn to research or a more experienced colleague, we are now all finding our way. We hope that this interview, and others that follow, will generate ideas and allow listeners to reflect on their own practice, remembering that different contexts will require different approaches.
Taking part in the discussion, recorded on 6 May, are:
00:40 – Structure of working day at home
01:10 – Home learning decisions taken by school
3:00 – Engagement levels of students
6:40 – Feedback from students
7:10 – Looking ahead to when schools come back
13:33 – How every teacher’s situation is unique
