Overview
These exercises will help you articulate factors that can impact your work as you develop plans for distance learning, as well as how to turn you core beliefs as an educator into practices for your distance learning classroom.
Context
Educators everywhere are working around the clock to plan distance learning experiences for the next several weeks and months that will ensure students have the best experience possible, but the reality is that there is no replicating the experience of a real live classroom. Given that, it’s important to name our priorities upfront: what MUST we do for our students to feel good about our work and our school community, while prioritizing their well-being, along with our own? When the dust clears and we return to our campuses, what will we want to have been true about how we spent this time?
We are navigating brand new territory, but if our values and goals are clearly articulated, we can make tough choices easier and devote our energies where it matters most.
Implementation
These exercises can be done as a school community, as a grade or subject level team, or simply articulating your goals as an individual practitioner.
