RIGOR IN THE REMOTE LEARNING CLASSROOM

"This book is a timely guide and important reminder for administrators and teachers during this unprecedented time. Blackburn presents a framework for teachers to adapt to remote learning not by lowering expectations for their students or themselves, but rather by developing a scholastic environment rooted in rigor."
-Michael McLaughlin -

- Head of Middle School at Austin Preparatory School in Reading, Massachusetts -

Learn how to keep the rigor and motivation alive in a remote learning or hybrid K-12 classroom.  You’ll learn:

  • how to create a remote culture of high expectations;
  • how to scaffold so students reach higher levels of learning;
  • how to have students collaborate in different settings; and
  • how to provide virtual feedback and deliver effective assessments.

You’ll also discover how common activities, such as virtual field trips, can lack rigor without critical thinking prompts. The book provides practical strategies you can implement immediately to help all students reach higher levels of success.
