Distance learning can be as rewarding as teaching in a bricks-and-mortar classroom, if in different ways. After all, good teaching is good teaching and, most importantly, we are here to help!
We've developed both print and video resources, emphasizing online teacher/student communication using MY Access! Special Instructions, Comments and Revision Plans. We also encourage you to schedule a webinar to discuss best practices. Just contact Dr. Madeline Pan (mpan@vantage.com) VP Professional Learning Connections or your Literacy Specialist.
