Covid – Round Two
We were all bombarded with advice and directives on how we would bring our students back in these uncertain times and each school interpreted them in their own style.
Primary schools benefited from the ability to create ‘bubbles’ for their year groups, often having staggered drop off, pickups and break and lunch times.
What Staff Need
Following the difficult period that, dare I say it, we have all endured, the ways of working to which we have all become accustomed have changed, maybe irrevocably. Some of our processes and protocols have been the same since time immemorial and probably would never have changed without something as life-altering as our current situation.
Back to school?
So – we are going back?
Following our significant period of home learning schools are now getting ready to go back, some sooner than others. There is a lot of work required to enable this to happen following the pandemic and a plethora of advice about how to go about it.
Remote Working - The next stage
Week 6 – I have now, along with my colleagues and many others, been remote working for almost six weeks. At the start, I wrote about my optimism about this new way of working, communicating with colleagues and managing work-load. A few weeks on and I decided to ask myself if my feelings towards it have changed.
