Tips for a successful remote learning experience

Routines:

  • Students of all ages thrive on routine and are more successful when it is a part of their daily lives.

  • Daily and weekly schedules at home will help students succeed.

Expectations:

  • Clearly communicate what you expect from your students.

  • Students will need guidance and clear instructions.

  • The remote learning teachers can help to establish online classroom expectations.

  • The open communication and strong partnership between the teacher and parents will help.

  • For older students, they are learning to be advocates for themselves. This may be more of a challenge in a remote learning environment, but it is just as important.

Positive Interactions:

  • Remote learning elementary students usually require hands-on interaction with adults for success. You must be available to engage with your student.

  • Older students may require hands-on interaction with adults for success. You may need to be available to engage with your student.

  • Be your child's cheerleader.

  • Even if you found a particular subject frustrating when you were in school, do not share overly negative feelings.

  • Model a positive, can-do attitude for your student.

Support:

  • There will need to be a strong partnership between the teachers and families.

  • Reach out to your student's teacher and ask for help when you need it.
