Learning in Lockdown 3 – Laurie Luscombe

The third of our conversations exploring how schools and teachers are managing the challenges of providing remote learning in maths, supporting students and looking after their own well-being during the Covid-19 school closures.

We hope that this interview, and others, will generate ideas and allow listeners to reflect on their own practice, remembering that different contexts will require different approaches.

Taking part in the discussion, recorded on 12 May, are:

• Laurie Luscombe: secondary maths teacher working in Oldham
• Gwen Tresidder: NCETM Communications Manager

• 04:21 – How the maths department planned for remote teaching
• 07:01 – Engagement levels of students
• 09:26 – Exactly what maths work was sent home
• 12:06 – Getting a sense of students’ home life?
• 13:41 – Thoughts about when schools start to open
