As many teachers are asked to prepare for online learning, we are here for you as you rapidly develop new skills to support your students. Rather than using this post to give you a list of links, we would like to facilitate a collaborative approach - we are at our best when we work together. So, please head over to our Padlet page (just one of many tools for online collaboration!) and contribute your favourite resources or upload ones that you have tried and found useful. https://padlet.com/STANSW/OnlineTools We would also love to hear from you about your needs in this time, as we consider how we might best support you with targeted professional development. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ STANSWPL — 8 —
