To help support home learning and maximise the impact of work set, the EEF has produced some initial planning and reflection tools. EEF intends to draw upon the expertise of schools, further developing resources that can help everyone ‘bounce back’ when schools do re-open.
The EEF research underpins the RIC Literacy plan and these resources draw existing evidence together. There is, for example, support for home reading/talking that can be accessed via the “Communicating Effectively with Families” section.
There is also a checklist/flowchart that makes recommendations for disadvantaged learners/families with supporting links . Many of the recommendations will be familiar as they are integral to the effective pedagogy underpinning the RIC Literacy Academy’s programmes .
There are, of course , the usual links to resources but there are also very useful frameworks for texts to parents that provide unpatronising advice about supporting learning at home. They also provide good advice about how to minimise the flow of information to parents/carers, especially those with limited access to the internet or difficulties with data usage and cost. The advice also provides guidance about managing expectations re work/study at home.
