Free Remote Learning Resources (Victorian Curriculum)

Victorian teachers are doing an incredible job pivoting from face-to-face to remote teaching and back again… and back again… and back again! As teachers ourselves, we see the workload increasing and the motivation level students of our students declining - and we want to help. At Tomorrow’s Teacher, we are determined to ensure that student engagement is more than just logging in, and have been busy sharing strategies on our blog and giving presentations to schools with ideas teachers can use to keep students engaged and learning during this time. If you think your school would benefit from one of our remote professional development sessions please use this form to get in contact with us.

Preparing engaging lessons does not need to be onerous for teachers with the abundance of online resources available - but we know it can be so time-consuming searching for them. So, to help reduce teacher workload, we have compiled a resource list for different subject areas so you can click through to find what you need, rather than recreating the wheel. We hope it gives you some much-needed time back in your day.

Feel free to share this post with your colleagues. We’re all in this together. You’ve got this.
