Share My Lesson – from the AFT

To help you prepare for possible school closures, Share My Lesson launched a new community for educators, school staff, parents and community members to find and share ideas, tips, resources and free lessons. This Remote Learning Community has content on the coronavirus, learning-at-home lesson plans for teachers and parents, and resources on social-emotional learning, mental health and trauma-informed practices.

In this online community, you can:

• Join a discussion based on the grade or subject you teach to share ideas and ask the community for advice.
• Upload a lesson plan or resource to the Remote Learning Community that would be helpful for other educators or parents across the country.
• Stay up to date on all new coronavirus resources for school preparation and closure.

Finally, the AFT just published an important checklist of questions you should ask your school or school district now to ensure everyone is prepared for distance learning. This checklist covers important questions on topics such as technology access, preparation and training, and technology support for English language learners and for students with disabilities. Use this checklist to ensure your school, students and parents are prepared.
