Resources
The website is maintained by “an independent, national nonprofit dedicated to transforming the lives of children and families struggling with mental health and learning disorders”.
The website has specific parts focusing on resources for parents (coping during covid-19) and remote learning.
The website is well organized, operates with lots of pages and subpages, but is mostly of a textual nature (all the information is presented in the form of text with some illustrative photos).

Online platform that supports learning through various educational materials, covering all the levels of public education (from kindergarten to upper secondary school).
The platform is aimed for pupils/students, their PARENTS, teachers.
Website of the ‘centre of expertise in inclusive education’
Information consist mainly of tips and trics (for example: make sure that your powerpoint is accessible for SEN students). To be honest, I am not very impressed….
A website containing various educational materials from kindergarten to upper secondary level. The materials are connected with the curriculum, and although mostly aimed for students and teachers, there are some resources for parents/caretakers as well:
- Math, reading, literacy, French: pdf documents
- Mental health: links to external websites/resources
This website claims to offer ‘research-based’ information about online education
Options:
- What we know from scientific research (a summary/review in Ducth)
- Practical ‘hands on information’ loads of links to other organisations which offer practical suggestions. It almost is too much too choose, but tis organisation has a national ‘broker’ position and therefore mentions everything worthwhile.
- Research-based answers to questions, this consists of a short summary in Dutch of recent research to answer a question for example ‘what is the role of parents in distance education.’
Content is mostly text, sometimes a video
An interactive platform with free lesson plans (from reception to age 11) that were developed by qualified teachers.
The lesson plans can be used by students, their parents and schools/teachers.
Besides subject-related lesson plans, the online platform has a section for “specialist lesson plans”, that is aimed for students with additional needs.
This is an online ‘platform’ with information for parents, teachers, headmasters (in Dutch ‘voor iedereen’) and others who are involved in online education. The website is well organized, operates with lots of pages and subpages.
Users can choose: primary, secondary and vocational education, NT2 (learning Dutch as a second language), adult education, examination.
Within these subcategories, there is a choice between information for parents and teachers.
For parents: it offers links to external content, sometimes from external companies. The information consists of blogs, video, articles to read, materials (sometimes from external companies) and suggestions for educational things to do (baking cookies and thus measuring ingredients).

The list contains the name of free resources, a brief description to each of them, as well as the links. This website has no interactive elements, it is just a list.
I have found the UK version - maybe others could add their country versions
Aimed at teachers but promoted to parents during lockdown
Focused on primary resources across the curriculum. Mostly downloadable worksheets and some videos etc. Does not have any specific guidance for parents (it may have done during lockdown) and is definitely aimed at teachers.

Literature and Policy Review
The project team wanted to be sure that the resources we were creating were based on robust academic research already undertaken and informed by national and European policy already in place. The first activity of the project was therefore to conduct a transnational policy review alongside a literature review. We include the findings of these activities in a number of different formats here in our resources page.
