With physical school being replaced by online learning, some kids will thrive. Including those who don’t learn well in a noisy environment. Also, those who need acceleration are likely to thrive.
However, some students who are likely to suffer. Their home learning environment may not be ideal. Their internet may be slow or their parents or carers may not be in a position to help the child’s learning for a multitude of reasons. Others who may struggle are students who struggle to stay organised, to self-regulate, to self-pace, stay motivated, take on tasks and learn independently or those who are not tech-savvy.
While learning goes online, it is crucial to ensure that the gap doesn’t widen and that this doesn’t impact on student learning and subsequently their emotional well-being.
