Parents playing teachers during the pandemic | Research for the Real World

With widespread school closures taking place, COVID-19 has meant a lot of households taking on teaching responsibilities. Professor Dominic Wyse explores how it’s all going.

Listen out for HHCP’s research and theory-informed principles that many might find useful, and how we might be able to use philosophy to help get children thinking.
