Covid build back, beyond the grades
Helping schools base recovery strategies on students' wellbeing needs and learning gaps beyond academia—in their own words
There has rightly been a focus on planning academic catch-up for students recently. But what about everything else?
East's Covid build-back programme can help you understand students' needs and help them catch up 'beyond the grades'—including:
-
Wellbeing / pastoral
-
Soft skills
-
Preparing for the future
As well as giving you detailed, student-level insights, we'll help you identify priorities and translate this into an action plan—so you know (and can prove) that your 'catch-up strategy' is based on real student data.
