Research School Network: NEW COVID-19 SCHOOL SUPPORT RESOURCES Evidence-based resources to support schools and families with home learning.

In response to the unprecedented closure of schools to most pupils, the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) has produced a set of resources designed to be used by schools and families to support home learning. These are all based on the evidence-based recommendations of their guidance reports and includes blogs, infographics, animations and tools you can share with parents and carers.

For schools, there are helpful planning prompts and other practical tools. These have been designed to supplement and support the existing work of schools, not replace or challenge it.

There are also useful resources for schools to share with families to support their children’s learning, from establishing home learning routines to shared reading help to handy tips for supporting maths in the home for younger children.

These include strategies for supporting ​‘brilliant book talk’ between families and their children and practical advice for developing home learning routines.

The aim is for these resources to be used with all families, but also to provide key support to your most vulnerable and disadvantaged families and children at this time. We hope that the ​‘Communicating Effectively with Families’ guide for schools and Remote Learning Rapid Evidence Assessment can help navigate this vital challenge.

These are all freely available here.

Stay home and stay safe.
