Wherever we are teaching from, the heart of what we do as teachers remains the same:
Building relationships
Encouraging growth
Creating classroom learning communities
Helping students reach their future goals.

THE BUHS REMOTE LEARNING APPROACH
Different Platform. Same Goals.
Different Platform. Same Goals.
Motivating Instruction
The social and academic curricula are taught in ways that meet student needs
What does effective instruction look like in remote and hybrid situations? What we know about good instruction is essential for developing an approach to reaching all learners this year.
CLEAR COMMUNICATION
How will students and families receive clear information about assignments? Lessons? Expectations?
How will we deliver instruction and design tasks that are accessible, and achievable for all learners at BUHS?
Using Tech to Create Connections
We will strive to cultivate the social and community dimensions of learning by using technology that brings students together for interaction, support, feedback and community.
Students will benefit from a system of support throughout the semester

BUHS Faculty Distance-Learning Resources
Hundreds of tutorials and resource links. Everything from Zoom to G Suite Apps, Google Classroom, Newslea, Flipgrid, Screencastify, Nearpod, Padlet and many, many more.
A wonderful, comprehensive collection that Allison has put together on a huge array of Ed Tech resources. Tutorials, strategies and even some of our Tech Committee's homegrown how-to guides. It isn't a mastery guide, but a hallway with a thousand rooms in case you get the urge to explore something you read about or hear somebody mention.
This is a big collection of material, but it is deep and well-organized.
See the sections below for our suggested strategies and approaches for all of these amazing resources!
A strategic, curated resource created to help our Faculty bring Motivating Teaching Strategies, Community and Interaction, and Social and Emotional Skill-Building to their online and hybrid classes.
OK, break it down for me.
The links below will give you an idea of how these parts fit together and what will be asked of you, as well as a short list of go-to Docs
Please keep an eye on this spot, as our situation is nothing less than completely dynamic for the foreseeable future and this is a likely place to find news and updates.
Our "must-dos," and a vision for how they fit together
Teachers have shown heroic creativity throughout the pandemic. We continue to encourage that exploration, but based on feedback from parents, counselors special educators, and reflection on our own experience, we have decided to adopt a few practices across the Faculty for the duration of our hybrid and remote-learning experience.
