Guidance for Distance Learning, from Modern Classroom Educators

Kate Gaskill (center), Head of Teaching & Learning

The Modern Classrooms Project is not a distance-learning organization. I prefer to think of us as a better-learning movement: a network of educators, across the country and world, working together on a research-backed instructional model that truly meets every student’s needs.

With that said, nearly every educator we serve has spent some or all of the past seven months teaching remotely. We’ve learned a lot from these educators, and done our best to adapt our blended, self-paced, mastery-based model to meet the challenges of distance learning. We’ve listened to these educators, collecting recommendations, resources, and best practices, while simultaneously empowering several educators to share their distance-learning stories with the world.

Today, I am proud to share that we’ve compiled all of our most useful distance-learning guidance in one place, for teachers just like you:

Distance Learning Guidance for Modern Classrooms

This guidance is by no means exhaustive: every school and classroom is unique, and what has worked for our educators may or may not work for you. We hope, however, that you’ll find something — or many things — here that can help you better serve your students during this turbulent time. And of course, if you have tips to contribute, please contact us to share!
