Remote Education
When teaching pupils remotely, we will:
- Set assignments so that pupils have meaningful and ambitious work each day in a number of different subjects
- Teach a planned and well-sequenced curriculum so that knowledge and skills are built incrementally, with a good level of clarity about what is intended to be taught and practiced in each subject
- Provide frequent, clear explanations of new content, delivered by a teacher in the school or through high-quality curriculum resources or videos
- Gauge how well pupils are progressing through the curriculum, using questions, low stakes quizzes and other suitable tasks
- Provide scaffolded practice and opportunities to apply new learning
- Provide timely and frequent feedback on progress
- Teachers will adjust the pace or difficulty of what is being taught in response to questions or assessments, including, where necessary, revising material or simplifying explanations to ensure pupils’ understanding
- Provide parents with a suggested timetable for home learning
- Monitor the quality of the remote learning through monitoring by subject leaders
This might seem daunting to some parents so the school will support you as much as possible, particularly if the children are being introduced to new content. The school will:
- Provide pre-recorded videos or links to online tutorials (e.g Oak Academy) to reinforce or to introduce new content based on our curriculum
- Share any resources, including online and written tasks with home learners. Staff will do this electronically and it will be the responsibility of families to print/use these resources at home. If access to a printer is not possible the school will provide printed resources.
- Respond, within reason, promptly to requests for support from families at home. This should be done via phone, email or SeeSaw .
