The intention with online learning and digital learning days is to provide a similar instructional experience to what students would receive in the classroom. Having a well-thought-out plan in place is key to ensuring that these days truly support seamless student learning. In this document we provide information on some of the most important elements to consider.
Younger students sometimes need a bit more structure and direction to be productive when they get a surprise day away from the classroom. Keeping their minds engaged and focused on the curriculum when they are can save a lot of time when school resumes, so it’s worthwhile to have some go-to activities and strategies on hand in the event that circumstances result in your school having to close.
School closures due to community emergencies, inclement weather and other unexpected events can’t be helped, but they can quickly put students behind, especially students who are working through a tightly scheduled curriculum. Fortunately, with a little planning and the help of technology, days when school are closed don’t need to bring a halt to learning for school students.
