Distance education — tips for teaching from home

Prepare in advance

If you expect to teach remotely in the near future, look at the curriculum in advance and prepare lessons for the weeks ahead.

Opt for content that’s easily accessible online, in a variety of mediums.

Schedule student check-in times

Set time when you and your students can touch base and have them prepare questions they had during the exercises.

Make use of video conference tools that allow for multiple people to dial in.

Set up a work zone

Set up a comfortable, well-lit area and designate it for work.

Avoid working from the couch or bed — when it is time to relax your brain might find it hard to shut off work thoughts.

Create an online quiz

Check in on your students’ learning progress through online methods.

Use a tool like Google Forms to make an online quiz any student can fill out with their device.

Over-communicate

Set out your expectations clearly in all relevant communication channels.

Make sure students know exactly where to receive their assignments, submit their work, or ask questions.

Be flexible

Be empathetic of the home situation of students as some may not have available adult supervision or reliable internet.

If students need special support, be open to their unique needs.
