Here is a list of suggestions you should consider in order to ensure safe and effective distance learning practice:
Leaders to outline provision and arrangements for 'distance learning' in order to ensure consistency and a baseline across the school.
Leaders to establish an effective method for communicating with staff
The school to identify a period of time during which teachers will be available to respond to enquiries from learners and parents (educational support)
The school to inform learners and parents of when teachers may be contacted. This time will be used to address any problems/concerns and to explain new tasks.
Provide guidelines for parents and learners on how to use the learning platform.
How will you co-ordinate and manage the volume of work presented to learners to complete?
How will you ensure variety and balance in the tasks delivered?
Leaders and staff to research and raise awareness of the principles and possibilities of 'distance learning'. Identify 'good practice'
Begin to raise awareness and experiment with new methods for distance learning, including different services and apps.
Do staff know where and how to seek support with distance learning and overcoming problems should they arise?
