Remote Learning and Digital Equity: Best Practices

https://www.techlearning.com/news/remote-learning-and-digital-equity-best-practices

Equity now is an active consideration for educators immersed in remote learning. Thanks to COVID-19, educators should not assume that all students face comparable challenges in terms of being prepared for the school day. The unique challenges and responsibilities that students face at home need to be considered when designing learning activities, assessing mastery, and in the way learning support is made available.

Navigating Uncertain Times: How Schools Can Cope With Coronavirus

https://www.edsurge.com/research/guides/navigating-uncertain-times-how-schools-can-cope-with-coronavirus

During the past few weeks, the coronavirus has cast an uncertain future over U.S. education—particularly the ongoing school year. It has also raised a host of questions: Is remote learning possible for every school? How can educators and parents make it a meaningful experience when it’s happened so suddenly? And what roles will teachers, administrators, paraprofessionals and parents play?
