Working from home and facilitating daily learning and planning for Prep. This involved sitting in front of a laptop all day, everyday. I.e. Monitoring learning, assisting with logins, collecting work samples that were sent, constant contact with the school to support children not accessing remote learning, replying to many questions on SeeSaw and Googles classes, weekly Google meets with Prep children, Google meet planning sessions and endless whats app messages & troubleshooting with Rebecca. Finding the appropriate work/home life balance was incredibly challenging at the outset and non-existent. As my confidence grew, and we were able to work through issues, the situation improved gradually. The joy came when I'd get work samples, videos and photos sent to me. It made my day and put a big smile on my face! :)

My role was to support staff in their program planning, to big picture problem solve the unforeseen challenges we would face in delivering a differentiated program and to keep school life planning routines, as normal as possible in this time. My role also entailed leading others onto a google classroom platform and supporting staff in learning to communicate and teach through this platform. Assessment for reporting also presented itself as a challenge to this role.

* Initially it was a bit difficult - unsure of where I could best contribute
* Eventually it started to become a little easier once I found areas I could contribute to
* In some ways I enjoyed being able to work on the student planners - e.g. finding great material and videos for the students to work through. In other ways, I felt a bit limited in terms of not being completely familiar with all aspects of delivering the material. But I find this slowly improving with time

My role was similar to pre Covid isolation, however, not having the children on site made everything feel different. It was difficult not to have the relationships  and interaction with the students and their families.
