Distance Learning at Cole

Distance Learning means instruction in which the student and instructor are in different locations. It includes:

• Use of a computer and communications technology, as well as

delivering instruction and check-in time with the teacher

• Online Video or audio instruction, which includes oral or written

communication/interactions between teacher and students

• Use of print materials and online interactive resources

Synchronous Asynchronous

Online at same time

• Immediate Feedback
• Ability to ask

questions

• Feeling of safety

Not online at same time

• Learners learn at own pace
• Learners are not bound by

time

• Time flexibility

Teachers offer small groups, address specific learning needs and office hours are used to answer any of your questions.

STRUCTURE OF DISTANCE LEARNING

SlidesMania

Teacher - Student Relationships

• Students learn better when they have a positive relationship with their

teacher.

• Strong teacher-student relationships rely on effective communication.
• Building safe spaces for students to take risk, ask questions, and clarify

their understanding will encourage productive struggle and support student learning.

• Creating partnerships with our families will promote student learning

and increase student success.

Mission: At Cole Elementary School, we exist to develop positive relationships that build good character and foster academic proficiency for success in schools and the community.
