A Process Centered Around Design Thinking
By the end of this series, teachers will have six foundational components to use as they continue building an effective remote classroom for the 2020-2021 academic year.
Teachers will create one of each by the end of each module: a) engagement framework; b) classroom channel and instructional video(s); c) communication action plan; d) sample assessment instruments; e) informal professional network; and f) remote access plan. Each component connects to the other – providing a strong foundation for creating an accessible extension of your classroom.
