Understanding Distance Learning
What does Distance Learning mean?
Distance Learning means students will access on grade level, high-quality instruction with their teachers outside of the physical classroom or school building.
Distance Learning may occur at home, with a child-care provider, or in any setting other than a school building.
Distance Learning is different from homework in these ways:

Distance Learning: We’ve got this
Although you will not be in the classroom, you will have your teacher’s support for success. Whether meeting live with your teacher or working independently, you’re not alone in this.
Teacher Led Learning is... live, together, collaborative, interactive. | Self-Directed Learning is... on student’s own schedule, independent, self-guided with support. |
