Rehearsed and predictable practices that provide structure to support efficient and effective learning.
Organizational & Study Skills
- Establish age-appropriate remote learning routines (e.g., setting weekly goals).
- Encourage development of study skills (e.g., note taking templates)
Considerations
- Be explicit: Have we modeled strategies, and provided templates, to support families in reinforcing organizational and study skills development?
- Be consistent: Are practices consistent across classes to support families in reinforcing the development of organizational/study skills?
- Be adaptable: If students are using increased technology, are we leveraging digital tools that support the application of organizational/study skills?
Support Structures
- Encourage students to reflect, identify needs and seek help
- Establish support routines (e.g., guardian learning office hours)
Considerations
- Be explicit: Do families understand how students can access support from teachers and strategies they can use to support learning?
- Be consistent: Are there established office hours or structures and families can use to seek individualized support?
- Be adaptable: Have students and caregivers been provided with suggested strategies to assist them when completing independent work?
Attendance & Engagement
- Foster regular communication about student attendance
- Identify learning priorities and offer flexible structures (e.g., manageable and meaningful tasks)
Considerations
- Be explicit: Has the district explained remote learning attendance and engagement protocols and expectations to families?
- Be consistent: Does the district provide families with regular, timely and personalized attendance and achievement information?
- Be adaptable: Have families’ needs been considered when defining remote learning attendance and engagement expectations and structures?
