Remote education is education where the teacher is not in the same location as the students.
It became a significant part of many schools’, including BHES’, practice when ‘work from home guidance’ and lockdowns were introduced due to the Covid 19 pandemic.
Remote education will continue to follow the same curricula as face to face teaching as far as is possible. A variety of different platforms will be used to enable the teaching.
In post pandemic working within BHES face to face learning will always be the first option
However even when ‘work from home guidance’ or lockdowns are not in place remote education will remain part of BHES practice in the following, limited, circumstances:
The decision as to whether a student is offered remote education will come from discussion on referral.
Digital education involves the use of information technology tools (computers, tablets, smart phone etc.) to facilitate and enhance learning.
Remote Education is often, but not always, digital education.
Some students will engage with remote digital education with a camera and mic on. Others will only work with the camera and mic off.
BHES uses a variety of lively formats to engage younger students. These include:
BHES uses the same formats as for primary but in addition used GCSE revision programmes and online texts. In some cases, textbooks and worksheets are taken to the homes and discussed using remote access. Student work can be sent back electronically for marking or collected in paper form if necessary.
All students with special needs have individual programmes. These are nearly all delivered face to face. If this is not possible then content of an appropriate level is used remotely to ensure that the student is able to continue to make progress.
