No distance learning solution is perfect for early grade students but there are policies and practices that can be used to improve it for students, families, and teachers.
PACE@edpolicyinca

New PACE brief by @BenWCott identifies areas of improvement for distance learning in early grades (TK–3), which is particularly challenging. Key takeaways: more interaction, support for families, learning resources. edpolicyinca.org/publications/i…

@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."
USA TODAY@USATODAY

One district said it simply doesn’t have enough teachers, time or resources to build new content for courses and provide students a fully online option. usatoday.com/story/news/edu…

Education dollars in CA come from unstable sources compared to other states and has led to a decline in overall funding. The state will need to tap other revenue sources to better support the nation's largest state education system.
PACE@edpolicyinca

New infographic helps explain in 12 charts the extent of CA’s school funding problem. For decades, CA spent less than national average on K–12 edu, only coming close to catching up recently. The new economic downturn threatens to wipe those gains. (1/5) edpolicyinca.org/publications/c…

This debate has been unwatchable, but the most terrifying moment is the President claiming voting is a fraud. #Debate2020 This is fear mongering. Vote early, vote in person, vote by mail. Just vote. #VOTE #VoteEarly

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/publications/f… Via @BenWCott of PACE

Distance learning will require districts to work more closely and transparently with parents than ever before. Providing parents with reliable, accessible, data is a common sense solution to encourage increased parent engagement and empower communities. edpolicyinca.org/publications/f…

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/legislatu…
