SERA Connects: Health, wellbeing and COVID19
On the 25th June 2020, SERAconnects hosted a panel discussion with three senior teachers (one Head teacher and two Depute Head teachers) to discuss their priorities and plans for the return to school in August. This webinar was a follow-up to that panel discussion to reflect upon those priorities and consider them in light of the realities of school life since August, with a particular focus on how each school has attempted to support pupil and staff health and wellbeing. During the discussion, we revisited some of those issues that were brought to light in June, for example, staff training, creating a supportive climate, digital learning and dealing with uncertainty. However, we also discussed those ‘new’ issues that may arose since the return to school. Audience members were given opportunities to share their views and experiences, as well as ask questions using the interactive functions on zoom, and through SERA twitter feed. We hope that this discussion will provide a supportive platform for teachers, researchers and other stakeholders to share practice, seek advice, and critically consider the implications of the discussions for their own context.
