October 22, 2020No one knows how long it will be until we return to life as we knew it, but in the meantime, here’s a book that will make parenting and educating our children a little less stressful and a bit easier for all parents.
There’s plenty of information about school subjects and ways to supplement learning, but, perhaps even more importantly, it addresses underlying issues with which parents and children continue to struggle during the pandemic — routines, technology, social and emotional development, values, principles, mindsets and even parental self-care.

I read the Distance Learning Playbook for Teachers prior to the start of the 2020-2021 school year. As a parent as well, I was excited to get a copy of this book for parents.
I highly recommend that parents read the portion on reading. All of the tips in this book can be used for in person learning as well, but the reading section is something all parents should read. Reading is arguably the most important thing your children learn in school and reading for pleasure is SO important and appears to be rarer and rarer as technology becomes more prevalent in our lives.
This books is mostly aimed at parents of elementary school students, but it is not lost on secondary school students.

This book was recommended by our virtual school principal at the beginning of school orientation. I am so glad I picked it up! There are so many great nuggets in here that apply to ALL parents, not just those who have kids in distance learning. The book is very easy to read and it written in a format that allows you to either read the section in total, or quickly get to the point with the margin notes and "Key Message" sections. Im telling everyone I know about it. Great read!
