Learning from Home
|
During this time of learning from home, we want to support all students in their access to instruction. We continue to be committed to creating inclusive and engaging learning experiences for all students. This website will feature a variety of resources for students and parents to help enhance or assist in their learning.

Let's get started....
Set up a space and schedule |
Set up a designated workspace in your house for your child(ren). Make a schedule, this can be done in various ways depending on your child (see also "visuals" for resources on making a visual schedule). Go over the schedule each day and put it in a visible location. Make sure the schedule includes movement and brain breaks (take a look at the "Sensory Support" section for some ideas) as well as chances to be creative.

Optimal Learning Time
Recognizing that home life is very busy right now with students learning from home and many parents working from home, one thing to consider is the optimal learning time for your child. By working on their strengths and abilities, you will find it easier to accomplish the tasks when your child is most able to do so.
Some things to consider;
- Is your child a morning person or an evening person? Do they jump out of bed first thing in the morning ready to go or does it take awhile for them to adjust?
- Is your child sluggish or sleepy after eating a meal?
- Is there a time of day your child naturally gravitates towards wanting to go outside? sit down and do an independent activity? interact with those around him or her?
- Is your child more focused on a full stomach or an emptier stomach?
By listening to your child's natural rhythm, encourage the more demanding activities when your child is most regulated to do so. This will decrease your frustration along with his or hers.
