Festival of Teaching: The other ‘track and trace’
Join us for an insightful talk covering this important topic. This project aims to track various interventions that have been made in secondary schools to address public health concerns, such shifts to virtual learning and trace their effects on teaching and learning and mental well-being during the current national lockdown. The study intends to create a qualitative evidence base that explores how students and teachers have experienced the COVID-19 lockdown preventative measures and the impact on teaching and learning on their own terms and identify best practices which are mitigating any negative effects of interruptions and/or modifications in schooling provision on mental wellbeing for students. Ultimately, the study seeks to develop actionable recommendations that can be undertaken in collaboration with the LCC, local schools, DMU and community members to help mitigate the effects of COVID-19 on learning and mental wellbeing for secondary students particularly at schools which have had higher rates of under-attainment.
