Week Two: Best Practices for Online Student Engagement and AssessmentWeeks Two and Three are presented as a package to recognize that remote teaching involves an instructional component and a community/relationship component. In this case, Week Two will focus on instructional approaches and strategies. Week Three will emphasize the human side of teaching, primarily through recorded sessions on community, well-being and student motivation and academic integrity. Week Two-- Best Practices for Engaging and Assessing Students OnlineWhen: July 14th-16th During Week Two, Connie White will use her lens as a former upper school physics teacher, EdTech expert and independent school director of teaching and innovation to address two of the trickiest yet most important aspects of distance teaching -- engagement and assessment. Peer roundtables will be held to brainstorm ways to approach special challenges in science, mathematics and the humanities. In addition to the live sessions, the program will include peer discussions, self-paced video recordings and mini-Master Classes that can be viewed on your own time. Note: These are different from the series of recordings from Heart of Character on SEL, community building, academic integrity and intrinsic motivation that is also included (see Week 3 for more information).

Recognizing the challenge of meeting these needs in a distance setting, we’ll offer sessions on anti-racism, inclusive teaching, fostering community, creating strong connections with parents, promoting student integrity and well-being, and teaching for good. These conversations will be led by experts from around the country and from within our own AISGW community. July 21st
