The crucial role of citizenship education during lockdown

As the Covid-19 crisis continues, the role of citizenship education must not be overlooked – both when it comes to navigating the huge amount of information out there and supporting pupils’ wellbeing. Helen Blachford explains

I have been a secondary school teacher for a very long time, longer than I care to admit, yet like most of us the only experience of “home learning” I have had is to set some work for students to do when school has been closed due to the odd snow day.

While there was some indication that schools would have to close at some point due to the pandemic, nothing quite prepares you for preparing and delivering home learning and teaching remotely.

What I do know though is that there is a lot of support out there – with teachers sharing ideas and resources to ensure home learning is of the highest quality and meets the needs of as many young people as possible.
