Teaching teachers

Thanks to friends who mistakenly think that as teachers, for us, the holidays have started.

They have not.

In strange circumstances, we are in the process of rolling our sleeves up, keeping calm and carrying on.

As  maths teachers, we are ahead of the curve as our weekly homework tasks are set and monitored online via show my homework and Hegarty maths.

In business, you have the experience of group conference calls for meetings straddling continents.

We are adapting / learning /setting up google classrooms and will meet on Monday and Tuesday to set up training and strategies to try and move forward as seamlessly as possible. 

Resources will be prepared and shared as we evolve our online classrooms to support all our students using the technology available.
The next two weeks will probably more strenuous than normal as educators get educated to keep education moving forward.

Spare a thought for teachers who are also parents so will see this from both sides at the same time.

Holidays? Don’t think so! The hard work is just beginning.
