Avoiding Marginalization while Distance Learning


With distance learning being a new platform to teach our students, how are we as educators prepared to engage students from all backgrounds in a virtual learning experience?  We need to pay close attention to those who have been traditionally marginalized by our system to ensure we are not widening the academic gap.  It is our belief (CQC) that exhibiting care for our students is the most important factor we can lean on while we all navigate this uncharted territory.

 

Learning Targets

  • Become more aware of the potential for marginalization of the marginalized

  • Increase knowledge of the many forms of learning outside of direct instruction

  • Creatively incorporating the 21st century skills into our distance learning plans

  • Understanding the power of caring and relationships when adaptive change is needed
