Schools across the country are partially closed due to COVID-19 and parents everywhere are being thrust into their worst nightmare … homeschooling!
I was lucky enough to chat with education and curriculum expert, Karen Green from MAPPEN, about how to make homeschooling work and come out the other side still talking to your kids.
Karen shares her expertise from over 40 years in the education sector to guide us through the do’s, don’ts and its-gonna-be-ok’s of home learning.
Plus, as a response to the Covid-19 crisis, the brilliant MAPPEN team have adapted some of their content for home-based learning and are offering it for FREE to parents wishing to supplement the work that is being sent home by teachers. Get the details at the end of our chat.
