This has culminated in the way the school responded so quickly and efficiently with their roll out of remote online learning. They acted quickly to provide family workshops to ensure that parents felt comfortable with learning from home. The workshops also providing them useful tips around accessibility and screentime allowances.
Professional development through Teams has become the new normal. Teacher workshops were continually held online to support and develop the teaching staff's growth mindset. To say that we are lucky to work with such an amazing school is an understatement.
