The COVID-19 pandemic led to school closures in more than 150 countries around the globe. Locally, we now witness an increasing shift to online home learning as we strive to be better prepared should we face a similar crisis in future. For parents and carers this means having to support their ward’s formal learning in a whole new context. The speed of the current changes has left many parents and carers with very little time to prepare and some feel overwhelmed. The home schooling toolkit project aims at providing practical solutions for parents/carers for more effective home schooling. The project consists of 25 2 minute interactive animated videos, in Creole, French and English. The videos are loaded with tools, tips and practical suggestions to make home learning in any subject more effective. The toolkit comprises 3 series. Series one covers the basics of learning, series two is about learning and technology in the context of home schooling and series three presents some innovative approaches which, when applied during home schooling, can make it more effective and enjoyable.
