In the first of a series of webinars exploring support for disadvantaged pupils during this time of COVID-19, Sonia Blandford, Founder and CEO of Achievement for All, and Tony McAleavy, Research Director at Education Development Trust, joined IG Schools to discuss how the COVID-19 lockdown period has impacted disadvantaged children and young people, and what help is needed to help them catch-up on the lost learning time.
This discussion webinar is a must-watch for any school leader, teacher or practitioner working with disadvantaged children and young people and looking to develop strategies for effective learning activities through the summer and into the next academic year.
Watch or listen now for practical tips and guidance, and further resources, plus lessons learned from how countries around the world have reached out to disadvantaged pupils in recent months.
