BOSTON (AP) — At school, Rose Hayes, 8, works with a team of teachers and therapists trained to help with her genetic condition. They set goals for her reading, give her physical therapy to improve her balance and make sure she stays on track. But for the last two weeks, her only connection to school has been through a computer screen.
www.storyboardthat.com is giving free access to teachers and schools for remote learning and we are very good for special education needs (Disclaimer: I am the CEO)
Kudos to any teacher, education staff member, company, parent, or others who help or support kids’ learning, development, and health during this challenging time.
My son and daughter-in-law are elementary special ed teachers. She spends time with parents and time with her students on-line. My son’s school has been unprepared. After two weeks off, he will finally find out what he is supposed to do to work with students on-line. Many of them have no access to the internet. To him teaching is a calling. He is stressed out.
I sent a link to your web site to my son. Thanks so much
This is another situation where lack of testing (and general lack of pandemic preparation) really shows up. You could have (cleared) assistants on site. You could move equipment from schools in a timely manner.
One of my students really benefits from close supervision. He’s got the tech stuff there, and family, but even with that it’s way harder to help him stay on track.
