Craig Barton interviews guests from the wonderful world of education about their approaches to teaching, educational research and more. All show notes, resources and videos here: https://www.mrbartonmaths.com/blog/
“Teaching from home” is a series of episodes dedicated to supporting teachers who are working from home amidst the Covid-19 outbreak of 2020. There will be technology focussed episodes – just how does remote teaching work? But also episodes focussed on the practicalities of coping with setting students appropriate work whilst also having to look after your own children at home. Then there are issues of safeguarding, differentiation, mindset and more that I hope will come up as we progress. There will be maths teachers, teachers of other subjects, and primary school teachers. There will be teachers from the UK and overseas. Hopefully something for everyone.

Hello and welcome to another episode of the Mr Barton Maths podcast, with me Craig Barton.
This is another episode in my Teaching from Home podcast series – a series dedicated to supporting teachers who are working from home amidst the Covid-19 outbreak of 2020.
My aim is that you will hear from a wide variety of teachers, sharing a wide variety of experiences. There will be technology focussed episodes – just how does remote teaching work? But also episodes focussed on the practicalities of coping with setting students appropriate work whilst also having to look after your own children at home. Then there are issues of safeguarding, differentiation, mindset and more that I hope will come up as we progress. There will be maths teachers, teachers of other subjects, and primary school teachers. There will be teachers from the UK and overseas. Hopefully something for everyone. I have no idea how long this series will go on for – but so long as people keep listening and hopefully finding it useful, I shall continue!
This time I spoke to Jules Daulby. Jules is an English teacher and an expert in supporting students with Special Educational Needs. Indeed, on her Twitter header she has the quote: I will continue to campaign for ethical and inclusive practice in all schools. Our children should be valued and valued equally. I was super keen to invite Jules onto the show because I wanted to know if the challenges facing SEN students during school closures were different to those facing non-SEN students, and if that is the case how can we as teachers best support our students. And Jules did not disappoint. This is one of my favourite conversations ever, and one that will have implications long after this period of school closures comes to an end.
On Twitter, Jules is @JulesDaulby

- Look for the accessibility function on your phone and switch on ‘speak’ function, this will then read anything on your phone
- Use the microphone to speak into your phone – you can write using this
- Microsoft Office 365 – many students will have this at home from school – use immersive reader. Use speech to text and text to speech to practise writing and proofreading.
- Try Office Lens – it’s a downloadable free app where you can take a photograph of any text and then have it read to you.
