From Crisis to Opportunity: Recovering California's Commitment to Equity. Supporting Families with Distance Learning
Education Trust-West
While family engagement has always been an important component for supporting student learning in school, the abrupt switch to distance learning in March has dramatically changed the role of parents and other at-home care-providers to that of teacher, tutor, counselor, and technology coach. The transition to distance learning has been particularly challenging for families with limited access to and experience with online learning tools, students gaining English proficiency, and students with disabilities. As schools plan for the 2020-21 school year, engaging and supporting families in distance learning must be a priority for state and school leaders. This report provides opportunities for improving support for families with distance learning for the Governor, state leaders, and the California Department of Education, as well as school, district, and county office education leaders. [This report was developed in partnership with Parent Institute for Quality Education.]
