Introducing the Recovery Curriculum: Essential or Detrimental?
Virtual Education Conference
The Global School Alliance are excited to announce the second Virtual Education Conference, all about whether schools should adopt a recovery curriculum post-COVID.
The conference takes place July 22nd, 4-6pm, GMT time.
Attendees will hear from a handful of education experts from around the world, all of whom are either in the process of designing a recovery curriculum or who have already successfully implemented a recovery curriculum. You’ll have the chance to ask questions and share your own experiences.
Conference Overview
The last few months have been a trying time for teachers and educators around the world.
Following the months worth of missed education during the period of school closures, many have debated to what extent a recovery curriculum should be rolled out. Not only have students missed out on the hours of education they would be getting in school, but they have also faced difficult circumstances. Children have lost routine, structure, friendship and opportunity, as well as facing bereavement and anxiety.
So how are schools to prepare? Should schools have summer schools or supplementary classes to ‘catch up’?
Some headteachers have expressed their concerns about how far behind the children will be academically, whilst others support more humane approaches concerned with the fundamental wellbeing, and secure positive development of a child.
The ‘recovery curriculum’ and what that should look like has certainly sparked a debate within the education community.
