05.01.2022 This is not a post saying that we are washing out hands! Well, we are actually washing our hands, and you should be too. But this is not a post to tell you about all the things that the EC team are doing during the COVID-19 outbreak. Instead, we are more interested in helping YOU to do the best job you can during these challenging times. ... As always, we dont want to spend too much time talking about the what and why (youre getting enough of that already!), but instead throw some tools your way to help you with HOW you can run great learning in spite of the challenge ahead. The first round of ideas is focused on: How you can foster great remote learning if your school is closed? We will aim to send a few toolkits your way in the coming weeks. Sign up to the EC community to get a pdf copy of the toolkit in your inbox, at https://educationchangemakers.typeform.com/to/yiDOJL Stay healthy out there.. and wash your hands! Gabbi + the EC crew
