Remote Learning
No child at All Saints Catholic School will be left behind if they cannot access their learning in school; to this end, and having learnt much from school site closures during the pandemic, we approach online learning in the following ways.
1. The basics of exceptional teaching are transferrable online – all teachers are trained to employ the Principles of Instruction just as they would in a classroom environment.
2. We use the following platforms as a means of delivering learning and communicating with pupils/parents and guardians:
-
Google Classroom (used to upload resources and communicate, receive homework)
-
Google Meet (used to deliver live lessons)
-
Satchel One (used to upload resources and communicate, receive homework)
-
Mote (for online verbal and written feedback)
3. If a whole class is not in school, a lesson will be planned and delivered live online as appropriate and a register taken of all pupils present or otherwise.
4. If a pupil is not in school but can and should access their learning, they will be taught by either:
-
A live lesson where a remote camera is positioned in the classroom for them to interact in real-time
-
A live lesson where a remote camera is accessible but the lesson is primarily delivered by sharing the teacher’s screen
-
A lesson may begin live and then a pupil/s may be given independent learning by the teacher for an agreed time and then at the lesson’s conclusion a consolidation task will take place where pupils can receive feedback and forward planning
-
Resources may be uploaded to one of our used platforms for a teacher to receive and offer feedback on at an agreed time and using an agreed medium eg. A Word document via Satchel One
5. In short, all teachers are able and do offer both Asynchronous Learning (Pre-recorded lessons, work set online, videos, worksheets) and Synchronous Learning (Live lessons online)
