Whilst the Department of Education and Training has not at this current point in time, indicated that remote learning for students will commence in term 2, ahead of the possibility, I will be sharing remote learning suggestions and good practices from The Department in my blog over the coming days. These suggestions may be considered good practices more generally, when creating an effective homework space and environment.
Setting up a learning environment
We recognise that every home is different. Where possible, it is important to provide a quiet and comfortable learning space. Your child may have a regular place for doing homework under normal circumstances, but this space may not be suitable for an extended period of time. For some families, having all children around one table may work best.
Where possible, extended learning should take place in a space your family shares. For example, a lounge room or dining room. These spaces are preferable over a bedroom, where:
that can be quiet at times
that has a strong internet signal, if possible
where you or another adult is present and monitoring your children’s learning.
