Join the Tes editorial team as we discuss the very latest effects of the coronavirus pandemic on the teaching profession.

We talk about guidance from unions, including about things teachers shouldn’t be doing during school closures (such as marking and lesson planning, and taking down displays and cleaning cupboards).

And we highlight some of the inspirational stories of how teachers are keeping teaching and learning going, albeit in new guises. 

“It almost feels like we should stand on the doorsteps and clap for teachers as well,” says Tes deputy news editor Mary-Louise Clews (in reference to last night’s outpouring of public support for NHS workers).
