DIGIT4SEN Improving teachers’ digital skills for better online inclusive education of SEN pupils
Education systems around the world faced an unprecedented challenge following mass school closures to contain the spread of COVID-19. School closures affect not only students, teachers and families, with far-reaching economic and social consequences.
The impact was most severe for disadvantaged children and their families, causing disruptions in learning, childcare problems and the subsequent economic cost for families who were unable to work, resulting in inequality in access to technology, inequality in access to educational resources, and a negative impact on student learning outcomes.
The pandemic has also triggered many changes in education, some major, like learning remotely from home, and some less important like sitting farther apart on the school bus.With the pandemic period and the start of distance education, students’ activities moved to distance education. when working with students with special needs (SEN) not only individually but also in the classroom.
