Episode 14: A Recovery Curriculum #14 Alex Tomkins (Greenside School)
LearningShared
Alex Tomkins raises some challenging questions in this exploration of teacher led inquiry in Social Emotional & Mental Health (SEMH). SEMH is now a key part of curriculum for children with SEN, yet we do have a strong background in this area. It’s certainly not a strong pedagogy. Alex also considers the opportunities presented by current circumstances to reflect on how inquiry can become a more significant & ubiquitous feature of formative assessment systems.Visit episode webpage for this & video slidesho

Join the conversation about The Recovery Curriculum:
Clearly any form of Recovery Curriculum will need to be unique to each and every school, contextualised to the ethos, culture and values of that school, as well as its existing curriculum and crucially reflecting and addressing the needs and aspirations of its unique population of learners.
We have created private groups in LinkedIn and Facebook where colleagues and peers can discuss and share thoughts, ideas, experiences, resources and learning in relation to education and provision post pandemic. The groups are also an opportunity to connect people and help you to build a network that can support you on your own important journey over the coming months.
