Hi all, Ahead of our virtual member meet-up in a couple of weeks time, I thought it would be worth sharing some thoughts/ questions, highlighting some of the challenges schools have faced in terms of delivering quality T&L during these unprecedented times. It would be useful if people could share their school's approach to some of these issues and your views on these.

- What should distance learning look like? What about for departments where online tools are not as readily available?/ quick feedback isn't available?

- Whilst recall and retrieval activities are useful in the first week or so of lockdown, how do schools move beyond this to deliver new content remotely?

- How do you ensure that students are getting a balanced educational diet during a time of lockdown?

-How do you ensure consistency of approach? How are schools managing judgements from teachers/ parents about how much can realistically be achieved during one day? One week? One half term?

- There have been concerns raised about the gap between disadvantaged and non-disadvantaged students? Those who have access to all resources and those that are resource poor at home.

- Is it ok to put the curriculum 'on hold' in favour of longer-term, outcome-driven projects across a range of subjects?

- Are schools encouraging students to stick to their usual school timetables in order to maintain some level of routine? If so, is this working/ successful? Manageable? Especially when students may have some significant responsibilities at home/ possibly caring for poorly relatives during this time?

- How do schools maintain pastoral support during this time?

Lots of thoughts and ideas here, but let's get the conversation started ! Tracy
