Growing and Nurturing Educators Literature Review
Remote Learning and Digital Learning Practices
Schools and educators faced unprecedented challenges as remote learning, in varying degrees and for different students, becomes more prevalent practice due to COVID-19. The Evidence Institute explored these challenges and their impacts on the future needs of educators as they adapt to different ways of meeting individual learners needs.
A range of initiatives were undertaken to better understand the experiences of educators and to identify and design targeted support.
In recognition of the importance of teacher wellbeing and its impact on teachers’ work a multiphase research project was conducted with teachers from the Independent sector in NSW. The literature review, aimed to understand how teacher wellbeing has been defined; identify factors that impact on teacher wellbeing and identify initiatives that enable teacher wellbeing.
