<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif">I am sending this email to seek your advice again. I’ve included other design teachers into the email as they may be in the same position.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif">My school has instructed teachers and students not to return to school until the 12<sup>th</sup> of October or possibly later. Is it a requirement that in the three
weeks until the students final class on the 30<sup>th</sup> October, they are expected to make a product/ prototype/ practical task as they have not completed any practical work this year? Does it make sense when all courses across the curriculum have completed
their formal instruction at the end of this term, that you are asking PDT students in these three weeks of term 4 to make a product as well as study for their exam? Is this correct?
<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif">As stated before, the pressure placed on both teachers and students alike to fulfill this scenario is unnecessary and extreme to say the least.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif">As we have been advised to be “agile in our approach to our teaching”, is it appropriate that for the health and well-being of our students that they do not make a product
or prototype or complete any practical work when they return to school, but rather each student is given the same mark for these criteria so as not to disadvantage any and be equitable across the cohort so that ranking can take place.
