REMOTE LEARNING
Remote Learning
at Cranford Community College
September 2020
When students and teachers returned
to school in September 2020 there was
an enormous amount of enthusiasm for
teaching and learning and excitement
at being able to socialise and reconnect
with friends and colleagues.
It was also clear that the way teachers
teach and the way students learn
needed to be responsive to a range
of situations that we were are likely
to find ourselves in over the coming
weeks, months and potentially years.
We knew that teachers and students
needed to be agile enough and
competent enough to switch from one
mode of teaching and learning to a
different mode seamlessly.
Microsoft Teams training was
delivered to teachers and students
so that everyone was confident in
delivering lessons remotely, attending
lessons remotely, completing
classwork, homework, catch up work
and handing it in remotely. Teachers
were marking, giving feedback and
monitoring student engagement. We
were ready for whatever Coronavirus
was going to throw at us.
September 2020 to December 2020
proved to be a challenge but the
training and confident use of Microsoft
Teams ensured that students were
able to learn from home if needed
and teachers were able to teach from
home. Teachers isolating were beamed
into lessons and students isolating at
home joined their classmates via a PC,
laptop or tablet. It wasn’t at all unusual
for a student in the classroom to be
doing pair work with a student at home
using Teams on an Ipad.
At this time we also continued to ensure
that everyone was connected at home
and able to access Teams. To date we
have loaned out to students 247 PCs
276 laptops, 64 internet dongles, and
over 100 headsets and cameras.
