Student Input into Online Learning Planning
Created : 19 Aug 2020, 2:03 PM
Archived : 27 Aug 2020, 1:00 AM
As you know, we are currently planning for the school to re-open over the coming weeks. We are putting in place a plan for online learning should it become necessary to close the school at any stage and return to online tuition. We are holding a meeting next Monday (24th August) at 11:30am in the school for any students who would like to have an input into this. All students have experience of online learning and it is important that we learn from your experience about what works and what does not work for you. Any future online learning will only work if it takes into account the perspectives of students, teachers and parents as well as overall best practice and guidance in relation to online learning. If any students would like to take part in this planning discussion, please email covidplanning@taylorshill.ie before 1pm on Friday 21st August. Due to social distancing, we will have to restrict numbers to 24 students. If we have more requests than places available, we will randomly select students from each year group. All students who express an interest in attending this meeting will be emailed on Friday afternoon. Parental input will also be sought through the Parents’ Council.
