Distance Learning Resources
Distance Learning Resources
Our team of teacher leaders developed Distance Learning resources for the second semester of each Patterns course in the spring of 2020 to respond to the COVID-19 crisis and school closures. Over the course of summer and fall 2020, Distance Learning units for the first semester of each course were developed. These Distance Learning resources can be used to support Comprehensive Distance Learning and Hybrid school models. If your school is opening in the fall fully in person, our original units can be used (see each course heading above), however the distance learning versions of the units will remain available to respond to temporary school closures as needed.
