The Teachers’ Take on the Remote Learning Model | The Education Station
Manage episode 270733416 series 2527979
Education has been slower to commit to the digital transition than many other sectors, fearful of straying too far from tradition and restricted by a lack of adequate training in tech. But failure to adapt could have caused irreparable disruption to students’ education and upped the risk of a lost learning generation slipping through the cracks. Schools had to make use of the tools at their disposal, and it took something as drastic as COVID-19 to drive this revolutionary change.
The sector has now been functioning remotely for almost three months. The majority of teachers have little to no experience in delivering education online, and the move happened so fast that many have still had little to no training in how to do so effectively. On top of this, they are juggling the daily anxieties that inevitably come alongside a global pandemic…
The government’s plan for the phased reopening of schools on 1 June was shelved before it had even begun, and it’s looking increasingly likely that remote learning in some form or another could be here to stay. So, how are teachers faring in this remote world, and are they ready to embrace the ‘new normal’?
