ATTN K–12 educators + advocates: @educationweek features PACE's @agallagher14 / @BenWCott sharing insights on the efficacies to inefficiencies of remote teaching + virtual learning—looking backward yet forward at best uses for online instruction in CV19. edweek.org/technology/is-rem…

@BenWCott of PACE on remote learning platforms during COVID-19: "They were never intended to be the sole instructor for a student’s learning. They were all meant to be supplemental material ... a lot of these platforms have gained traction in a way they probably shouldn’t have."

Parental engagement has a positive influence on grades, test scores, & graduation rates. But CA does not do enough to give parents data they need, now more than ever, to support student learning and engage with schools around data. edpolicyinca.org/publication… Via @BenWCott of PACE

PACE researchers on COVID-19 distance learning: "Prerecorded lectures, videos, readings should be assigned for students to complete on their own time so face-to-face class time can be reserved for active learning & interactive class engagement." edsource.org/2020/legislatur…

@AGallagher14 & @BenWCott of PACE on blended & distance learning: "Avoid asking students to watch expository instruction for multiple hours daily, punitive practices for students who aren't meeting expectations. It'll likely discourage student engagement." easyreadernews.com/hermosa-b…
