I am a Cover Teacher, whenever a teacher is off for any particular reason I will then cover their lessons. If there is no cover for the month I have my own personal class where I have EAL lessons for students that need support. Academically and socially. ]]> 2020-11-18 14:24:33 UTC https://padlet.com/nuhaa546/wl1afbg5mybs253n/wish/936790648 nuhaa546 https://padlet.com/nuhaa546/wl1afbg5mybs253n/wish/936866555 Due to COVID-19 the school was forced to start teaching online. I was then given a post as full time online teacher with 20 students. This required me to come up with different teaching strategies that would work for online teaching. Live and prerecorded videos.
