Lessons for ITT: Supporting trainee teachers in 2021

Teachers entering the profession over the past year have had a training year like no other. The disruption has not only impacted on the learning and development of pupils, but of those training to teach them.

So, to help our newest colleagues, we’ve created a set of video resources to support trainee teachers. With access to in-person observations limited, we’re tapping into the collective expertise of the teachers who created lessons for Oak to provide an opportunity for trainees to not only observe lessons, but to understand the thinking and decisions that go into making them. These lesson videos for ITT are intended to exemplify key elements of the ITT Core Content Framework (CCF).

Planning for a return to in-school teaching and catch-up

As thoughts move to more pupils attending school and even more focus is given to supporting pupils with missed learning, we at Oak have turned our attention to all of the ways we can continue to support you through this period.

After a year of disruption, we know you are faced with a mammoth task ahead of you: to identify and fill gaps in knowledge whilst still managing teaching and learning across the home/school divide.

As you begin to prepare for the weeks and months ahead, Oak can offer resources and support to help relieve some of the pressure and reduce workload.

Join our next webinar to learn more about:

-   How to use Oak’s curriculum maps and Teacher Hub to support in-school teaching, remote learning and catch up

-   New features to help you plan your curriculum and understand the progress of pupils

-   Case studies demonstrating how schools are planning to use Oak in the next term

There will also be a chance to ask questions.

Approaching GCSE Geography Fieldwork in 2020/21

Fieldwork is an essential element of geography education to gain skills that are difficult to develop in the classroom alone. But how do we prepare students for unseen fieldwork exam questions during a pandemic?

Oak's Geography subject lead Ben Newborn and Geography teacher Mel Marshall have put together some useful resources to help prepare teachers and students for the GCSE Geography fieldwork exams in 2020/21.

For more information, [read Ben's blog](https://support.thenational.academy/en/articles/4704282-how-do-i-prepare-my-students-for-fieldwork-questions-in-their-2021-exams) explaining his approach in more depth.
