Lessons & Activities for Teachers and Home Educators
The Coronavirus (COVID-19) has caused both professional educators and parents to scramble. America has completely restructured what learning looks like – overnight. Despite the pandemic and pandemonium surrounding this time, it has been so encouraging to see people sharing resources. Below is a list of resources from myself and my colleagues. I hope that this helps you in lesson planning. Whether you are a teacher implementing distance learning or a parent turned home educator, these powerful lessons will help you.
The Importance of Social & Emotional Learning
While academics are important, I’d argue that social and emotional learning is most important. As things in our world change rapidly, we must teach our children how to manage emotions (cope) and connect socially (even in times of isolation). Through this we can help our children build their emotional resilience and overcome the adversities brought on by these times.
