​ Canopy och LEO Academy Trust har samarbetat i mer Ă€n tvĂ„ Ă„r och tillhandahĂ„llit utbildning, support och onlineverktyg. Detta har varit ett ömsesidigt fördelaktigt partnerskap med digitala ledare frĂ„n hela skolorna i LEO Academy Trust, betatestning och ge feedback om Workspace Skills.

En överblick

Canopy and LEO Academy Trust's journey began in 2019, fueled by a shared vision: equipping both teachers and students with the tools and skills to thrive in a digital world. This unwavering commitment manifested through:

​

  • Training: Supporting staff in becoming Google Certified Educators and Trainers, empowering them to guide and inspire their students.

  • Consultancy: Collaborating with the Executive Leadership Team to unlock the full potential of digital technology and hybrid learning.

  • Interactive Learning: Providing students and staff with access to Canopy's Workspace Skills – engaging tutorials that allow them to learn by doing and earn badges for mastering core Google tools.
     

Utmaning

LEO Academy Trust gav först ut Chromebooks till alla elever i Ă„rskurs 4 och rullade senare ut dem till alla elever i stiftelsen,  efter att ha sett den enorma inverkan som 1:1-enheter kan ha pĂ„ undervisning och lĂ€rande. De behövde se till att lĂ€rare och elever anvĂ€nde denna teknik pĂ„ bĂ€sta möjliga sĂ€tt för att förbĂ€ttra undervisning och lĂ€rande.  NĂ€r utmaningarna med Covid-19 fick skolor att stĂ€nga, betonade detta vikten av att barn har starka digitala fĂ€rdigheter för att fĂ„ tillgĂ„ng till och engagera sig i onlinelĂ€rande. 

Quantifiable Results, Impactful Stories

These figures go beyond statistics; they tell stories of empowered children, confident teachers, and a community transformed by the power of technology. As a Canopy colleague observed, "LEO students self-direct a lot of their learning... They often strive for 'Double-100%' on badges, demonstrating a passion for continuous improvement."
