Teaching Effectively in a Fully Online School
A practical guide to designing clear, accessible, and engaging learning in fully online schools. It helps teachers strengthen live lessons and self-paced tasks, build relationships, check understanding, and respond when students need additional support.
What’s included
The 16-page guide includes eight practical sections covering:
Predictable online routines and a strong teacher presence.
Explicit teaching and meaningful participation in live lessons.
Clear, manageable self-paced learning.
Accessibility and support for neurodivergent learners.
Assessment, feedback and checks of understanding.
Student connection, wellbeing and coordinated support.
Each section includes teaching strategies, classroom applications, barriers to notice, relevant school support contacts, and an action to put into practice.
The guide also includes a repeatable online lesson sequence, a worked science lesson example, catch-up guidance, support request examples, and teacher planning and reflection prompts.
Who it is for
Subject teachers, advisory teachers and teaching teams in fully online schools. School leaders, SENCOs and learning support coordinators can also use it to support consistent teaching practice.
Using the guide
Use the sections at your own pace, apply relevant strategies and review their effect through student feedback and learning evidence. Adapt the guidance to your curriculum, school systems and local requirements.
