Keep Calm, Learning is On! Tips and Resources for Parents to Support Learning at Home
As teachers and parents, we’re all feeling overwhelmed by the news about COVID-19 and the effects on our everyday lives. But, supporting learning and keeping a sense of normalcy and routine for kids is important, especially during sudden school closures. As schools and teachers are working quickly to create distance learning plans, parents are juggling many uncertainties including work situations and basic needs, all while trying to keep their kids engaged with learning at home.
While this new reality won’t be easy, the good news is that there are a lot of resources to help educators and parents navigate the road ahead. At Learning Heroes, a nonprofit organization that equips parents to support learning at home, we’ve come together with partner organizations to update the Learning Hero Roadmap, a free K-8 interactive guide for supporting social, emotional, and academic development at home. The bilingual (English/Spanish) digital tool is research-based and parent friendly!
