We’re continuing to update our blog with distance learning tips to help teachers during this difficult transition period.
Weeks into the COVID-19 outbreak, schools nationwide remain closed, many for the remainder of the school year. Teachers are adapting their teaching strategies for distance learning, but such abrupt changes haven’t come without difficulty.
Every child has individual learning needs, and teachers are uniquely positioned to identify and support those needs. However, many teachers are struggling to meet the needs of every child while their students aren’t in the classroom. These are unprecedented times for teachers and their students, but there are teachers across the country who are coming up with new communication strategies that work for them.
During our recent #DistanceLearningChat Twitter discussion, we asked teachers to share their tips for supporting students when teaching remotely. We gathered some of the best distance learning tips by teachers, for teachers.
