The Way of Love - Stephen McConnachie, Rebecca Tuckey, and Kathryn Ellis (Week 4)

Remote

Stephen McConnachie is an educator from Canterbury, New Zealand who experienced some really challenging times during the Christchurch earthquakes in 2011. This has been discussed way back in episode 21, but Stephen (and his school) were without a campus, had access to very little resources, were facing an unorthodox teaching timetable (due to the need to rotate school access to a shared campus) and at times had access to no classroom at all. This forced many teachers to embrace digital technology as a way to reach their students, allow for meaningful engagement and collaboration and was in a way, the precursor to teachers all over the country embracing a digital approach in the classroom.Over the last 7 days, the world has been gripped in a pandemic that seems to be worsening every 12 hours. With Covid-19 causing issues all over the world, we are seeing a number of schools and educational institutions closing, with teachers placed into positions they have never found themselves before - teaching their students from a remote or online learning space. For some this is nothing new, but for others they are looking at trying to educate their students worrying that they don't have the skills or capability to deliver the content and knowledge required to teach their students.Stephen shares his experiences from the earthquakes and gives a variety of tips, tools and strategies that will help not just the teachers out there, but school leaders and also students who find themselves impacted by Coronovirus. He is a wealth of knowledge and experience in this area and this is an episode that I hope will help put a lot of people at ease.Stephen is no longer in front of the classroom having recently moved into educational consultancy.

Episode 55 - Successfully navigating an online or remote teaching space with Stephen McConnachie

In this first episode of Global Perspectives I talk to Stephen McConnachie on how to keep a school running when the physical campus is closed. This is response to the news that Japan has joined China in shutting all schools. While it will hopefully not come to this in other countries, it pays to be prepared just in case.Stephen has experience in continuing teaching and learning through a school closure. This happened to him in 2011 during the Christchurch Earthquakes. His school's campus was closed all year. He had seven weeks without a physical teaching space and then his school shared a site with another school until the original site could be repaired.Stephen and I discuss how schools might approach a closure like this now.Here's Stephen's article we refer to: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/e-learning-crisis-stephen-mcconnachie/You can reach Stephen via:Twitter: @s_mcconnachieLinkedIn: smcconnachieYou can connect with me via:Twitter: @benhilliamInstagram: @MathematicousbenLinkedInMy website
