• Remember quality is more important than quantity.
• Provide projects that include the local community, such as volunteering where needed, mowing lawns, helping at food pantries, helping at local grocery stores
• Capitalize on the home environment in lesson plans. Reduce screen time and include physical activity as much as possible.
• Use a checklist that contains all lessons that are expected to be completed each week.
• Create a collaborative class contract with agreements regarding interaction with peers and teachers in online discussion platforms.
• Track student progress to ensure participation and check-in with students if students are struggling or non-participatory. Use grace and understanding.
• Give feedback to students on every assignment - voice and video is best!
