Guidance for Remote and Hybrid Learning
To help educators optimize blended, self-paced, mastery-based learning in hybrid and remote learning environments we have developed the following resources:
Implementing the Modern Classroom model during remote learning: Our comprehensive guide to synchronous and asynchronous learning.
Remote Learning Resource Guide: A teacher-curated guide to remote learning tools that work.
Tips for remote learning management: Advice on how to structure an effective LMS for students at home.
Remote-friendly progress trackers: See how our teachers are keeping students on track in a remote learning environment.
Daily warm-up and close-out activities: Use simple forms to check in on students’ emotional wellbeing, help students set goals, and build classroom culture.
Several of our educators have also written articles about their approaches to remote learning. Consider:
"Use Live Class Time to Center Relationships." Modern Classroom co-founders Kareem Farah and Robert Barnett explain how teachers can make the most of their live class time with students — whether schools are open or not. The key? Let videos deliver content, and focus on human relationships.
"Building Equity and Sustainability into an Uncertain Fall." Modern Classroom Fellow Moira Mazzi explains how her Modern Classroom practices will make school more equitable for her students during COVID-19 — and more sustainable for herself.
“How Coaches Can Help Teachers Provide Deeper Learning Online.” Modern Classroom Mentor Shane Donovan advises instructional leaders on how they can best support their teachers in creating meaningful remote-learning experiences.
“A Pandemic-Proof Approach to Teaching.” Modern Classroom Fellow Monte Woodard explains how blended, self-paced, mastery-based instruction allows students to learn whether they are in school or not — and even when schools are closed.
