Coaching the Caregiver 

Caregivers are vital partners in education, especially during remote learning opportunities. Research has shown that when teachers and families work together to create a plan for instruction, it results in positive learning outcomes for students. Whether students are engaged in hybrid learning or remote learning, the goal is to provide a seamless transition between instruction at home and instruction at school. This caregiver training provides information on supporting students learning from home using simple and effective evidence-based instructional strategies.
