Guiding Principles for Emergency Remote Instruction

  • Emergency remote instruction is not the same as online learning.  Rather than seeking to create the ideal online course experience for students, keep your focus on simple solutions. 

  • Build on the relationships and structures you already have in place.

  • Find the best solution to accomplish your goal.  Remember sometimes simple is better. 

  • Decide what’s most important to you and let that guide your decisions.

  • Foster human connection. With heightened anxiety and uncertainty, it is very  important to create a safe space that fosters empathy and openness.

Quotes 

"

—Thomas A. Edison

     Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself. 

"

"

 Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.

"

"

Your legacy as an educator is always determined by what your students do. You change the world by empowering your students to do the same.

"

     It’s our job in education to free up time for innovation. It’s our job to open their minds to new ideas. It’s our job to prepare them for the present and future possibilities
