Remote Learning

At Liscard Primary School, we have worked hard to ensure all of our pupils have access to remote provsion. Due to the pandemic, school planned dilligently for pod, class and whole school closures. The period since March 2020 has been one of great innovation in remote education. We have already implemented a wide range of approaches that are being reviewed and refined. Despite the challenges, remote education has made a significant contribution to enabling our pupils to continue to learn and progress. We continue to learn from our experiences and will innovate, take on board pupil and parent feedback and improve our provision. 

What matters most in remote education:

We have a real clarity about what needs to be taught by teachers and learned by puils in a carefully sequenced curriculum. The Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) has found taht the effectiveness of remote teaching is determined by many of the same factors as determine the effectiveness of live classroom teaching. We therefore carefully aspire to;

• ensure puils recieve clear explanations 
• Support growth in confidence with new material through scaffolded practice
• facilitate the application of new knowledge and skills
• Enable pupils to recvieve feedback on how to progress

These characteristics of good teaching are more important than the medium of delivery, be it in the 'live' classroom or through remote provision. It is important that we consider how to transfer into remote education what we already know about effective teaching in the classroom.
