Alternative Methods of Instruction
The experiences we gleaned migrating our teaching and learning to remote methods due to COVID-19, have provided us with shared knowledge on a situation no one in our field has had to plan for before. Collaboration, creativity, and shared problem-solving have redefined how our team of educators considers alternative methods for delivering instruction and guiding student learning.
We will use this collective planning to ensure we can continue learning no matter where our students are.
