In this blog post, I am sharing some tips educators can use when trying to assist parents and students while facing school closures.
Stay healthy and charged:
Teachers are not used to sitting in front of a screen all day. During this time of remote learning, take frequent breaks, go outside for shorts periods of time to get fresh air, eat healthy meals, and hydrate.
Use technology to engage students:
Worksheets are great but using a technology component for those students that have access can break the routine. Host a google hangout, record yourself and send the video to your students, use Flipgrid to assign fun questions and be able to see and hear your students, create a Youtube channel to engage your students.
Connect with parents:
Parents are facing the difficult task of working from home and homeschooling their children. Share daily tips with them to help them assist their kids and keep some of those routines they are used to. Send them videos of some of the songs or videos you watch in your class everyday, share your daily routines, schedules, and even your classroom management and behavior incentives.
