Mathematics
Build a mindset and culture of risk-taking and open communication about math in the distance learning classroom.
Tips:
Have students explore the traits of a mathematician and how the traits relate to themselves, their teacher, and their classmates.
Consistently encourage and set expectations for students to think and speak like a mathematician.
Introduce Class Norms for engaging in math collaboration and discussion.
Introduce and practice sentence stems to facilitate classroom discussions where students revoice, repeat, add on to someone else’s thinking.
Consider how students will be communicating their mathematical thinking, and give them opportunities to first practice these tech tools with less complex problems.

English Language Arts with History-Social Studies & Social Emotional Learning Integration
Build a community of learners where open communication about reading, writing and exchanging ideas is supported in a distance learning classroom. The children in the classroom each bring a unique set of experiences and outlooks. These differences should be honored and celebrated. The children can learn from each other, sharing their perspectives. It is a teacher’s responsibility to make the classroom safe for that sharing.
Tips: Create a culturally responsive classroom.
Check for Unconscious Bias
Create a Culture of Inclusion
Words and Connections Matter
Make Space for Student Voices
Honor Multiple Viewpoints
Be a Role Model

Science
Build a culture where students “Think like a Scientist” using the Science and Engineering Practices and explicit routines set up in our Amplify curriculum.
Review NGSS Science and Engineering Practices, and continue to engage students in:
1. Asking questions (for science) and defining problems (for engineering)
2. Developing and using models
3. Planning and carrying out investigations
4. Analyzing and interpreting data
5. Using mathematics and computational thinking
6. Constructing explanations (for science) and designing solutions (for engineering)
7. Engaging in argument from evidence
8. Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information
Pose problems and expose students to each unit and chapter’s phenomena in order to create a community of students who have a “sense of wonder” and want to “figure out” solutions.

Complete one of the options below. When finished, copy your work into your portfolio for submission. (Here is how to create a portfolio.)
Option 1: Explain how you will set norms next school year. Will you involve students or write your own? How will you approach designing your norms given a distance learning environment? You can write this explanation, record a short video (no more than 2 minutes), create a drawing or graphic, or use some other tool.
Option 2: Compare and contrast your classroom environment during traditional school versus online/blended learning. You can write this comparison, record a short video (no more than 2 minutes), create a drawing or graphic, or use some other tool.
