Further Education Science Network: Adapting Teaching and Learning in 2020/21 RD529 / A03
Summary
Lockdown 3.0: Supporting disadvantaged students and preventing attainment gaps
Following the events of the January 2021 lockdown, the issues of ‘lost learning’, widening attainment gaps and progress of disadvantaged students remains at the forefront of education. In this network meeting, we will explore some of the evidence and research around these themes and look at practical strategies and ideas that can be used to address them. We will consider the latest research-based evidence and the key considerations behind high quality teaching - and how this can ultimately support disadvantaged learners. We will also hear from Grimsby Institute of Further and Higher Education on how they are supporting students with their learning in STEM subject areas
