• Teachers should be engaging and consistent when communicating with students (ISTE et al., n.d., p. 15).

• "Communication with parents needs to be more thorough, streamlined, and predictable" (Gonzalez, 2020).

• "Create a positive learning environment online by allowing students to take notes and ask questions in real time...use a communications platform to allow students to share their thoughts, questions, and resources they discover...also encourage your students to work together in class..." (Athuraliya, 2021).

• "Make online learning as interactive as possible. Students need opportunities not just to listen or read but to actively process the information being presented." (Wexler, 2020).

• Motivate students to participate by making goals and expectations very clear, specify when students should show up and what they should compelete (Wexler, 2020).

• Instead of giving directions via written text, trying using multimodal ways such as video "... so students can choose the format that works best for them. You might also offer a synchronous weekly or daily meeting..." (Gonzalez, 2020).

• Change the way you give instruction and create activities.

"Plan ahead by preparing a lesson plan on a daily or weekly basis. Share the plan with your students via email or a communication platform if you are using one to stay in contact with the students or their parents. This will allow you as well as the students to prepare ahead of time for the lesson" (Athuraliya, 2021).

Teachers and students should both be collaborating while working virtually. "'Our schedules and time constraints that we may have had before will come down. We may have more opportunity to partner with people that we didn’t have the time or the space to be able to do that before'” (Gonzalez, 2020).

"Your school leadership should be building in regular opportunities for you to stay connected to your colleagues during this time. If they are not, create those opportunities for yourself" (Gonzalez, 2020).

• Offer students feedback with opportunities to improve as well as highlight where they are doing well. Students learn more from feedback rather than a grade (Gonzalez, 2020).

• Make feedback multimodal as well. "Most learning management platforms, like Google Classroom, have built-in features for giving feedback. Use these as your primary method." (Gonzalez, 2020).
