Establish a daily routine. Providing some regular structure can help make the home learning plan easy to follow. Review the “Recommended Daily Routine” section for tips on what schedule to set up. 2. Think through how to make sure students get the most out of home learning. Review the “Learning Goals for Students” sections for tips. 3. Prepare for your first day’s lessons.

Note to Parents/Caregivers: We know many caregivers are balancing home learning with other priorities, so you are encouraged to support your student in a way that works best for your family. For example, some caregivers may check in with students a few times per day while others may check in with students only in the early mornings or evenings.
