INTRODUCTION When schools closed early for Easter in March 2020, no one knew when they would open their doors again. Some felt that they would start as usual in late April, with the tacit expectation that the summer term would look similar to all the years that had preceded it. Within a few weeks, public exams had been abandoned for the year, and it was clear that the term would start substantially later than planned, if at all. Many schools had taken advantage of the Government’s Job Retention Scheme to defray the cost of workers no longer required. The word “furlough” had entered the public vocabulary. The impact upon sport was similarly rapid and dramatic. The…

We want to stimulate discussion, allow schools to manage their situation as we know and understand that educational contexts are different in terms of the size, age and layout of buildings. Leaders are reminded to always follow Government and employer’s guidelines. The ultimate deci…

How to use this document: 1. This document has been prepared for a New Zealand context, based on public health guidelines and our NZ Government Alert Levels.

Please note, there are different Ministry of Health Guidelines for Early Childhood Centres (ECC). The nature of an Early Childhood Centre is very different, and therefore all ‘toys’, ‘equipment’, and spacing rules need to be considered and adhered to. As children in ECC’s are moving most of the time, we believe there is…

The challenges faced with Blended Learning are from an instructional design, organization, and technical perspective. Some insights to consider when offering Blended Learning from a recent webinar with Dr Matt Harris include: Instructional Design Blended Learning provides the opportuni…

In some places school children who are at risk of developing a serious illness if they are infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus will be exempt from school operation after providing a medical certificate. The same applies to students who live in a household with members of a risk group. How will your school provide support for these students while quarantined? As planning is important to be prepared, according to a survey by Together School of parents and international school leaders, there is a high expectation that COVID-19 will be a disruption through next school year and potentially beyond. This will require preparation for examining how to manage potentially t…
