Students nationwide are falling behind as schools go ahead and continue to stay online. As the majority of schools started the fall 2020 semester online amid the COVID-19 pandemic, many students continued struggling academically, socially and emotionally. Numerous reports are showing distressing numbers of kids falling behind, failing classes or not showing up at all.
USA Today stated that Hillsborough County, Florida, started the year missing more than 7,000 students. Los Angeles saw kindergarten enrollment drop by about 6,000. Some reports are all stating that many students still don’t have the proper equipment either a digital device or high-speed internet to properly attend virtual classes, or that their children’s special-education learning plans aren’t being followed.
Virtual learning might be keeping kids safer this year from the COVID-19 virus, but it has made the academic year much harder. Students are also experiencing a lack in motivation which is affecting how they learn and leading to lower grades. For months, experts were confident that returning to classrooms would allow educators to address the decline in academic performance, but for many students that hasn’t occurred yet.
To help with this, parents have been implementing strategies that work for their current situation and for the learning style of their child. Per The Washington Post, some of these remote learning strategies are:
1. Identify high-priority classes or academic subjects - The majority of students can only work for 20 minutes at a time before they will need a break. Based on the child’s performance, decide which classes need more attention. For example, if a child is performing low in math, make sure that is the class they focus on the most and do not skip.
2. Be flexible and fluid with plans - Since each student learns and works differently it is important to create a workspace that works for them. That might mean a “non-traditional” workspace may be needed. This could be a tremendous help for students diagnosed with ADHD and sensory issues. For example, have a student struggling with ADHD bounce on an exercise ball between classes. This is a great way to help them regroup for their next class. Find what works for them and create their workspace around that.
3. Add non-screen activities instead of limiting them - Almost every parent will worry about their child and excess screen time. During these uncharted times parents are picking their battles carefully, and to some that means shifting their energy into improving the non-screen time. This concept means accepting their son or daughters excess screen time and focusing on effectively managing the remaining time of the day, allotting time for exercise, indoor/outdoor play, family time and meals, downtime and sleep. This tactic can help relieve the stress of worrying about the screen time exposure and focus on the more important non-screen times with their children.
4. Build a partnership with your child’s teacher - Now more than ever teachers are relying on parents to inform them of struggles their students are experiencing. This partnership can be crucial to a student’s academic success during remote learning. Since teachers can’t physically see their students in a classroom, they are relying on the parents to inform them of a student’s struggles they may be missing. These relationships are key and can make a difference in the school year and lead to successful grades.
Calculating the exact degree of learning loss during remote learning is difficult, however it’s becoming very clear that the parents need to find ways to provide extra help to students, as and when needed.
