Columbia University Center for Public Research and Leadership presents guidance and tools for high-quality, equitable distance learning.
Educators must support students "who have been most harmed by the pandemic and by racial injustice," according to the Columbia University report Actualizing Connecticut Classrooms for Continuous Learning: Guidance and Tools for High-Quality, Equitable Distance Learning.
The report provides action steps and templates for creation of equitable, high-quality, and culturally responsive and sustaining remote learning if necessary due to public health concerns, supported by LRP:
1. Deliver high-quality, equitable instruction. Districts must design a consistent schedule that includes synchronous instruction for K-12 students in all subjects. Accelerating learning will require district leaders to prioritize certain standards within a curriculum that connects to and affirms students' racial and cultural identities.
2. Create a strong remote learning community. Educators must create, communicate, and deliver on high expectations for students by developing trusting relationships and supporting students' social-emotional learning needs, particularly with students "who have been most harmed by the pandemic and by racial injustice," according to the report.
3. Make effective remote learning available to and effective for all children, regardless of a student's home situation or educational and language needs. Schools leaders must build strong partnerships with families and provide regular synchronous support to parents. Districts must offer in-person learning to some students, such as those with high learning needs and those experiencing homelessness.
4. Steadily observe and improve the quality of remote learning. Even districts experiencing success with fully remote learning can improve instruction. Administrators and teachers must collaborate and participate in professional development. Opportunities for educators to provide feedback on approaches that are and aren't working are also needed.
