Without detracting from any need for some learners to have specific assessments and specific support (e.g. around dyslexia, dyscalculia) the question was posed ‘What is the menu of things that every teacher can draw on, in every lesson, in order to give better broad underlying support to most learners through good teaching and learning practices?’ This document pulls together the results of that development worker activity in response to that challenge.
How can family learning promote educational resilience in children and young people? - This article summarises the thinking that links family learning, resilience and the closing of educational gaps.
