During our @CharteredColl member update webinar earlier this week I shared some of the things we& #39;ve produced to support our members and the wider teaching profession during the COVID-19 outbreak - here they are in a thread! First up, publications and resources... 1/n
At the start of May we published a report highlighting research into school closures and their possible impacts: https://chartered.college/2020/05/07/chartered-college-publishes-report-into-potential-implications-of-school-closures-and-global-approaches-to-education/">https://chartered.college/2020/05/0... - we& #39;ll be publishing a v2 over the summer looking at next steps. This has been shared widely with both teachers and policymakers... 2/n
... and we& #39;ve also published various reading lists to highlight key resources, including on remote learning... https://my.chartered.college/2020/03/online-distance-and-home-learning-selected-reading/">https://my.chartered.college/2020/03/o... 3/n
...and on the possible impact of school closures: https://my.chartered.college/2020/04/the-impact-of-school-closures-selected-reading/">https://my.chartered.college/2020/04/t... 4/n
We& #39;ve created a space for our members to discuss and blog about their experiences and reflections on teaching during the pandemic (member-only): https://my.chartered.college/resources/covid-19-support/connect-blog-and-discussion-area-2/">https://my.chartered.college/resources... 5/n
We& #39;ve launched a free teacher wellbeing prompts text-messaging service with @B_I_Tweets - meaning thousands of teachers receive prompts, questions and resources each week to support them: https://chartered.college/teachtogether/ ">https://chartered.college/teachtoge... 6/n
We& #39;ve published a range of short guides to aspects of teaching during lockdown, including pupil wellbeing, remote feedback and assessment, teaching mixed-age classes, supporting parents, remote leadership and using tech for collaboration and projects: https://my.chartered.college/resources/compact-guides/covid-19-compact-guides/">https://my.chartered.college/resources... 7/n
... and our latest Impact issue even includes a couple of COVID-19 related articles from @janetifimust, @AlmaHarris1 and @UniEducator: https://impact.chartered.college/issue/issue-9-learning-leadership-and-teacher-expertise/">https://impact.chartered.college/issue/iss... 8/n
We& #39;ve also done a few things to help support teachers& #39; CPD even more. We& #39;ve opened up our free edtech and research courses on @FutureLearn for longer - you can now access these any time for the next few months, rather than just during course runs: https://impact.chartered.college/issue/issue-9-learning-leadership-and-teacher-expertise/">https://impact.chartered.college/issue/iss... 9/n
We& #39;re running a series of webinars for teachers at all stages of their careers - https://my.chartered.college/event-type/chartered-college-events/">https://my.chartered.college/event-typ... - and we& #39;ve also collated a list of some great free webinars from other organisations: https://my.chartered.college/events/ ">https://my.chartered.college/events/&q... 10/n
We want to support early career teachers who have had their training affected and school placements cut short - so we created the Early Career Hub, full of videos, articles and activities aligned to the Early Career Framework and Teacher Standards: https://earlycareer.chartered.college"> https://earlycareer.chartered.college 11/n
We& #39;ve also opened up a batch of Impact articles to be free, organised by theme, so you can use them for reading groups and journal clubs with your colleagues: https://impact.chartered.college/reading-group-articles/">https://impact.chartered.college/reading-g... - and we& #39;ve produced simple guidance on online reading groups: https://my.chartered.college/2020/04/online-reading-group-guidance/">https://my.chartered.college/2020/04/o... 12/n
And colleagues have been supporting and mentoring on a great FutureLearn course on moving to teaching online: https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/teach-online">https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/t... 13/n
We& #39;ve adapted delivery of our programmes like #CTeach to ensure that teachers can access them in a way to suit them, taking into account current pressures. Our partner providers are also offering flexible start dates to support participants: https://chartered.college/chartered-teacher/">https://chartered.college/chartered... 14/n
Of course, we& #39;ve also been out advocating for the profession - we& #39;ve worked with DfE, sent a letter to the Prime Minister: https://chartered.college/2020/05/20/chartered-college-writes-to-pm/,">https://chartered.college/2020/05/2... written for the education press and appeared on TV and radio highlighting the need to trust and support the teaching profession 15/n
