Teacher Resources for Remote Instruction

The New Jersey Department of Education has provided guidance and a list of resources to help educators meet the diverse needs of their students while schools are closed to prevent the spread of COVID-19. While there is no single way to provide remote instruction, it is important to remember that there will be differences in student’s access to technology; safe and supportive learning spaces; and adults and/or peers to support learning.

Designing Learning Experiences

  • Recognize the need for flexibility in terms of time schedules and technology access;
  • Engage students in relevant and meaningful learning experiences;
  • Connect what students have been learning thus far in the year to the new learning experiences in which they will be engaging;
  • Allow for student choice and voice when possible/appropriate with regard to how students engage in the experience and/or how they demonstrate their learning;
  • Remember that students learn in different ways and provide flexibility in how they engage in new learning (e.g., reading, video); and
  • Encourage students to self-reflect upon their learning.

 

Please note that the New Jersey Department of Education has not approved the materials related to these resources. The resources are provided for informational and convenience purposes only. Neither the New Jersey Department of Education nor its officers, employees or agents specifically endorse, recommend or favor these resources or the companies/entities who have developed them.
