This template can be used to structure and plan your daily coaching. It can be set up as a rolling work plan so that your daily work is memorialized and easily accessible.

This template can be used to support teachers in planning online lessons in Google Classroom. The template models the inclusion of essential lesson components: Lesson objective, mini lesson, tasks with clear directions, and assessment criteria. Additionally, the template provides a method for presenting a lesson in a single document which creates a streamlined interface for students.

What your students will miss the most is the human connection that is cultivated in your classroom. The little interactions you have with them in the hallways, before and after class or during breaks in lessons, are irreplaceable. While it can be tempting to focus on content in your distance learning assignments and instructional videos, what matters more is creating structures for personalized touchpoints with your students.

You can create these touchpoints through any medium you like: emails, video messages, phone calls, messages through your learning management system, comments on shared documents, etc. Create a structure and stick to it. Your students will see your investment and know that you care about them.

It’s important to bear in mind that cultivating an engaging distance learning experience is hard. It takes time and an incredible amount of patience. If you are new to the experience, you’re probably going to feel like a first-year teacher again. That’s OK! Tackle the challenges step by step, keep your students updated on your progress, and stay positive. You can do this!
