Summary:Whether teaching via distance learning or spread out in school buildings, at 6-foot distances, we began with the intent that our delivery methods must promote student learning. Promoting student attendance and participation Because families and caregivers are our partners in making distance learning a success, many teachers found that sharing virtual learning expectations jointly with both students and families promoted better student participation. Send a notification 5-10 minutes before class to be sure students are awake and ready to join class. * Celebrate perfect attendance by raffling off books or gift cards in small amounts. * Have a coteacher or support teacher notify parents of missing students at home during class or wait until after class to call, text, or leave voicemails for parents or caregivers. * Invite parents to join a virtual lesson. Creating routines that promote learning and engagement Even in a virtual environment, students benefit from familiar and engaging routines for learning.
