Chaos, managed. Facilitating learning at home. Wayne Russell
-
- Kinder und Familie
Parents have been at home with their children for several months. And, children may continue to stay at-home. Summer camps may be cancelled again, and entertainment options for kids are limited as we navigate the new normal.
For many of us, home learning has been stressful and chaotic at times. We are tired and burnt out. How can the chaos be managed, for the weeks and months ahead? We answer this question, one episode at a time. Helping families facilitate learning is the mission of this podcast. Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/chaosmanaged/support

Our first 19 minutes of home learning / June 29, 2020
This is the audio of our son's and my first 19 minutes of home learning (HL). L was a little quiet at first, but after a few minutes, he became much more talkative. The kids are now on an outdoor recess break. One more 50-minute HL period after morning break and then one more period this afternoon. We’ll do 3 HL periods on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays and 4 on Tuesdays and Wednesdays (17 periods per week). We are revising our lockdown daily schedule to better reflect what we will focus on during each period (There will be some flexibility i.e., if the unit of inquiry (UOI) lends itself well to math concepts, there may be fewer stand-alone math periods during the 6-week UOI). I’ll post the “home learning daily schedule” later.

#6 We took the plunge this week into the homeschooling world
We took a big step this week. We believe it is a step forward, not backwards, but a step that creates a little anxiety and anticipation. We have decided to withdraw our two children from their school here in the province of Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa.

#4 Entrusted to us by parents (in the context of school reopenings)
Is June 1st the right time for South African children to go back to school? As a parent, would I send my child back to school? How are teachers feeling about the June 1st reopening?
