Remote Learning contingency plans, September 2021
| Definition: Remote education, which may be in a variety of formats, allows children to continue learning from home in the event of short term or long-term absence from school. |
Remote education: our overarching principles
- Curricular alignment: remote plans follow precisely the same sequence as face-to-face enactment of the curriculum
- High quality resources that mirror those used in face-to-face teaching where applicable and appropriate, are easily accessible and break learning down into small steps (avoiding long-term project type tasks). This includes the use of videos
- Feedback and assessment of learning should remain regular, in line with normal curriculum expectations
