School leaders and teachers have been asked to take immediate steps to develop and implement strategies which mitigate the educational impact. This Stretton Institute webinar through a panel of experts will discuss the unprecedented disruptions caused by COVID-19 to schools and schooling and analyse policy responses by governments in ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlog and globally.

COVID-19 disruptions not only have an impact on educational outcomes for students but also affect teachers’ feelings about teaching, the profession more broadly and teachers’ wellbeing. Extensive ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlogn and international research has found that teachers are the most critical factor in student achievement and satisfaction. As nations experience COVID-19, schools can provide regeneration and hope.

This webinar will explore issues related to teachers, teaching and wellbeing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Presenters will explore how COVID-19 impacts teachers’ professional practice, wellbeing, school culture and policy.
