We have the most vulnerable students, so engaging them in learning can be difficult, especially those with lots of social, emotional and mental health issues. To be able to have the resource on hand, which is safeguarded and tracks attendance is really useful, as we know they're engaged and they can report any safeguarding issues. The resources have really progressed since I started using EDClass and you can tell that there's been a lot of time invested in the platform over the last 10 years. I was one of the first people to use the provision so have seen it's development over time. There are even video lessons on it now!
Stephen Markham found EDClass:
- Significantly reduces teacher workload“It had a massive impact in terms of the remote learning we've had to put in place. We look at the curriculum for Maths, English, Science, Geography and PSHE and rather than staff having to create their own online resources for students who are on remote learning, we just matched it to the lessons on EDClass and set that curriculum up for a period of time when we were closed or in lockdown. We just pressed a button and the curriculum they were getting in school was now available virtually. It was a really good match!”
- Moderately reduces attainment gap“Due to the nature of our school, engaging pupils can be a challenge. The student who is using the seat has engaged well with his learning and is having more positive outcomes due to his EDClass support.”
- Significantly improves teaching efficiency“EDClass has allowed teachers more time to focus on day to day teaching and the EDClass resources have saved staff a lot of time. It also allowed us to identify the areas of focus when we were in lockdown.”
- Significantly improves attainment“The pupil using the EDClass seat found learning in school very challenging. EDClass has allowed him to engage more positively with education.”
- Significantly builds student knowledge“My experience is that the EDClass lessons do allow students to build knowledge, it is great for differentiated resources, and we can tailor a personalised curriculum to meet pupils need.”
