Matt Hood OBE

In this webinar, we discuss new research that looks at how teachers and pupils are using Oak, and what we've learnt about remote teaching. 

Oak launched just under 18 months ago to provide remote lessons for teachers and pupils during lockdown. Our platform has grown to host over 10,000 lessons, with pupils having now taken part in more than 130 million lessons. Oak has been used by 58% of all schools - used extensively for lesson planning, in-class teaching and cover, as well as remote provision. 

Our second annual report documents our progress, drawing on an evaluation of our impact by ImpactEd.



A deep dive into research on how both children and teachers are using the  platform. 

Current evidence on what makes for effective online or blending learning for pupils is thin on the ground, with the expansion of digital resources far outpacing research. 

Chaired by Nicola Woolcock, Education Editor at The Times, speaker include:

Matt Hood, Principal, Oak National Academy

Reka Budai, Research & Evaluation Manager, Oak National Academy

Natalie Perera, Chief Executive, Education Policy Institute

Ewen Bailey

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).
