As we adapt to the changes Covid19 brings us, we may find ourselves in a remote teaching situation at any given moment. This toolkit is to help you prepare and respond to a remote teaching scenario.

Step One: Make sure you have a digital tool in place to communicate and share with families.
We highly recommend being proactive in case you are suddenly are in a situation of remote teaching by having teacher & student access to one of these platforms ahead of time. if you haven't already, practice logging in with your students (or parents if you teach young students) and accessing the various tools.

Step Two: Integrate interactive tools into your video conferences to better engage your students.
During a remote teaching situation don't try to replicate how you teach in the classroom. There are effective teaching tools to engage learners in online learning with brief and timely interactive lessons. Explore tools for interactivity, try working with small groups or creating breakout rooms for students to collaborate.

Step Three: Adopt some low prep: high yield strategies to find out what your students have learned and provide formative feedback.
Assessment can be a challenge when you don't see your students in person day-to-day. These tools provide ways to capture what your students know and understand, and provide a way for you to provide formative feedback about their learning.
