Q & A
¿Cuál es la importancia de involucrar a las familias en el aprendizaje de los estudiantes?
-La investigación muestra consistentemente que los estudiantes tienen un mejor desempeño académico cuando sus familias, mentores o tutores están involucrados en su aprendizaje. Este hecho nunca ha sido más cierto que durante la pandemia de COVID-19, cuando muchas escuelas alrededor del mundo se vieron forzadas a cerrar sus puertas físicas e implementar modelos de aprendizaje remoto por primera vez.
¿Cuáles fueron algunos de los desafíos que enfrentaron los maestros durante el aprendizaje remoto?
-Algunos de los desafíos que enfrentaron los maestros incluían convertir sus planes de lecciones para enseñar a los estudiantes de forma remota, la incertidumbre con respecto al acceso a dispositivos y conectividad para los estudiantes que trabajaban desde casa, y, por supuesto, la falta general de comodidad con la tecnología tanto para los estudiantes como para los maestros.
¿Cuáles fueron algunos de los desafíos que enfrentaron los estudiantes durante el aprendizaje remoto?
-Algunos de los desafíos que enfrentaron los estudiantes incluían la necesidad de compartir dispositivos con hermanos u otros miembros de la familia, la necesidad de ayuda de adultos para iniciar sesión en plataformas en línea o seguir las lecciones, conectividad limitada en el hogar o posiblemente acceso limitado a dispositivos digitales. Por supuesto, la falta de interacción en persona con sus compañeros fue uno de los desafíos más significativos para los estudiantes en un modelo de aprendizaje remoto.
¿Cuáles fueron algunos de los desafíos que enfrentaron los adultos durante el aprendizaje remoto?
-Algunos de los desafíos que enfrentaron los adultos incluían la mayor necesidad de compartir dispositivos, conectividad y hasta espacio físico, tener que hacer tiempo en sus ocupadas agendas de trabajo para sentarse con sus hijos y ayudarlos con sus estudios, y la necesidad de dejar a los niños con cuidadores que tal vez no estuviesen bien equipados para ayudar a los estudiantes en el hogar con las clases en línea.
¿Qué consecuencia tuvo esta nueva realidad para todos los involucrados en el proceso educativo?
-Las consecuencias de esta nueva realidad para todos los involucrados en el proceso educativo se pueden resumir en una palabra: estrés. Aliviar este estrés es clave para mejorar el entorno de aprendizaje.
¿Qué hallazgos importantes se mencionan en el informe de McKinsey sobre el aprendizaje remoto y la preparación académica?
-El informe exploró la relación entre el acceso a soluciones de aprendizaje remoto de calidad y la preparación académica. Los hallazgos estimaron que, en un escenario de aprendizaje remoto promedio, los niños podrían perder de 3 a 4 meses de aprendizaje después de estar fuera de un entorno escolar tradicional durante 6 a n meses. En un modelo de aprendizaje remoto de baja calidad, la pérdida de aprendizaje podría ser de 7 a 11 meses. Finalmente, sin instrucción en absoluto, se esperaría una pérdida de aprendizaje de 12 a 14 meses para los estudiantes que no tengan acceso a ningún aprendizaje en casa.
¿Cuáles son algunas de las señales esperanzadoras que se mencionan a pesar de los desafíos?
-Algunas de las señales esperanzadoras mencionadas incluyen una mayor inversión en tecnología que beneficia a todos los participantes en el ecosistema de aprendizaje, el desarrollo de programas de instrucción de alta calidad para abordar las necesidades particulares de los estudiantes remotos, y una mayor comprensión del papel fundamental que juegan los padres, familias y cuidadores en el viaje de aprendizaje.
¿Qué estrategias se mencionan para fortalecer la conexión entre la escuela y el hogar en entornos de aprendizaje remoto o combinado?
-Algunas de las estrategias mencionadas incluyen asegurarse de tener la información de contacto del hogar de los estudiantes, compartir objetivos de aprendizaje, horarios y actividades complementarias con los padres, comunicarse de manera clara y simple, mantener la consistencia en la comunicación, incluir a los padres como participantes activos en el proceso de aprendizaje mediante el intercambio de objetivos semanales o de lecciones específicas, realizar reuniones regulares de videoconferencia y estar preparado para un plan B en caso de fallas tecnológicas.
¿Qué ejemplos de programas desarrollados por CCI se mencionan para apoyar la conexión entre el hogar y la escuela?
-Se mencionan dos ejemplos: Everyday Learning Fun, un programa con navegación sencilla, evaluaciones y planes de lección para maestros, y Graphic Novel Series, una serie de 30 novelas gráficas digitales diseñadas para estudiantes de inglés que pueden disfrutar de obras clásicas de literatura y biografías.
¿Cuál es la importancia de mantener una comunicación abierta en ambas direcciones entre la escuela y el hogar para mejorar el logro académico?
-Mantener las líneas de comunicación abiertas y que vayan en ambas direcciones es la mejor manera de tener a todos los actores involucrados en la educación de un estudiante comprometidos, lo que resulta en un mayor rendimiento académico.

Highlights
Research consistently shows that students perform better academically when their families, mentors, or tutors are involved in their learning.
Some of the challenges facing teachers include converting their lesson plans to teach students remotely, uncertainty regarding device access and connectivity for students working at home, and lack of comfort with technology for students.
Some of the challenges for students include a need to share devices with siblings or other family members, needing help from adults to log in to online platforms or follow lessons, limited connectivity at home, and limited access to digital devices.
Many adults also had to get used to this work-from-home model, with challenges such as increased need to share devices, connectivity, physical space, making time to sit with their children and help them with their schooling, and leaving children with caretakers who may not be well-equipped to help students at home with online classes.
Alleviating stress is key for improving the learning environment, as all these challenges have widened the learning gap and disproportionately impacted already at-risk students.
A report by McKinsey estimates learning loss for students returning to in-person school after 6 to 11 months of remote learning, ranging from 3 to 4 months in an average scenario, 7 to 11 months in a low-quality scenario, and 12 to 14 months with no instruction at all.
Hopeful signs include increased investment in technology, development of high-quality instructional programs for remote learners, teachers becoming more comfortable with incorporating technology, and a greater understanding of the pivotal role of parents, families, and caregivers in the learning journey.
Steps to close the achievement gap in remote and blended learning include providing teachers with resources for effective virtual engagement and instruction, training educators in distance learning best practices, having schools work closely with parents and tutors to explain how to create a good learning environment at home, being conscious of social and mental health, and ensuring all students have what they need for remote learning success at home, including connectivity and equipment.
To strengthen the home-school connection, it's important to communicate the right information at the right time to turn parents into assets in the education process.
Strategies for strengthening the home-school connection include having students' home contact information, ensuring they have the necessary technology and appropriate learning space, sharing information like class schedules, learning objectives, and extension activities, communicating clearly and simply, being consistent in communication format, repeating messages for clarity, and making parents active participants in the learning process.
Regular video conferencing meetings can help avoid individual calls and give parents and tutors the opportunity to ask questions, express concerns, and discuss pain points.
Being ready for Plan B when using digital tools is important, as technology failures may happen, and being prepared to use paper and marker can help continue the learning process.
CCI's strategy to help alleviate stress is to develop programs that make the learning process easier, more straightforward, and fun, with components designed to connect classroom learning to what parents or tutors could do at home to reinforce and practice acquired skills.
CCI's Everyday Learning Fun program features digital-first, streamlined navigation, embedded support for the home-school connection, pre- and post-assessments, lesson plans, and 100 ebooks and nearly 500 activities in reading, math, and science for children aged 4-7, ideal for reinforcing at-home skills.
CCI's Graphic Novel series is designed specifically for English language learners, giving students who may not have the language skills the opportunity to tackle and enjoy classic works of literature and biography, with a focus on vocabulary acquisition through highly rendered illustrations, and discussion guides ideal for both at-home family discussions and remote learning groups.
Engaging learners with fun, developmentally appropriate learning resources can keep them focused on learning despite challenging conditions, providing purposeful, easy-to-use support resources for parents and caregivers at home enables them to meaningfully participate in the learning journey, and keeping the lines of communication open and going in both directions is the best way to have all stakeholders in a student's education engaged, resulting in improved academic achievement.

hi I'm Josh Poe part of the learning
Solutions team at CCI and
DSi today we're going to be talking
about connecting the school to the home
through digital learning
tools research consistently shows that
students perform better academically
when their families mentors or tutors
are involved in their
learning this fact has never been truer
than during the co 19 pandemic when many
schools around the world were forced to
close their physical doors and Implement
remote learning models for the first
time most Educators had to confront this
new reality very quickly making use of
whatever tools their schools provided
and putting their best educational
intentions to the
test in this environment some of the
challenges facing teachers include
converting their lesson plans to teach
students remotely uncertainty regarding
device access and connectivity for
students working at home and of of
course a general lack of comfort with
technology for students the stakes were
also High older students often face
technological challenges on their own
but younger students may have to rely on
a family member to connect them to their
online classroom or learning
environment some of the challenges for
students include a need to share devices
with siblings or other family members
needing help from adults to log in
online platforms or follow lessons
limited connectivity at home or
potentially limited access to digital
devices of course a lack of in-person
interaction with peers is one of the
most significant challenges for students
in a remote learning
model many adults also had to get used
to this work from home model some of
their challenges include the increased
need to share devices connectivity and
even physical space making time in busy
work schedules to sit with their
children and help them with their
schooling the need to leave children
with caretakers who may not be well
equipped to help students at home with
online
classes what are the consequences of
this new reality for all the people
involved in the educational process can
be summarized in one word
stress alleviating this stress is key
for improving the learning
environment all of these challenges have
widened the learning Gap and
disproportionately impacted already
atrisk students in a recent report
published by Consulting giant McKenzie
researchers explored the relationship
between access to Quality remote
learning Solutions and academic
Readiness the graphic below illustrates
their findings in terms of estimating
learning loss for students that go back
to an in-person School setting beginning
January
2021 after approximately 6 to n months
outside a traditional school learning
environment the chart indicates that in
an average remote learning scenario
children may be expected to lose 3 to
four months of learning after being out
of a Traditional School setting for 6 to
n
months in a lowquality remote learning
model that loss of learning can be 7 to
11 months finally with no instruction at
all 12 to 14 months is the learning loss
that would be expected for students that
don't have access to any learning at
home while schools are
closed despite the challenges several
factors suggest that there's good reason
to be
optimistic we think of these as hopeful
signs first the crisis has led to an
increased investment in technology that
ultimately benefits all participants in
the learning
ecosystem high quality instructional
programs are being developed to address
the particular needs of remote learners
and teachers are becoming more
comfortable with incorporating
technology to deliver lessons and other
learning
content finally there's now a greater
understanding of the pivotal role
parents families and caregivers play in
The Learning
Journey so when we think about steps
needed to close the achievement Gap that
exists in remote and Blended learning
environments there are a number of
things to
consider it's certainly important to
provide teachers with resources that
ensure effective virtual Eng engagement
and
instruction and to continue training
Educators in distance learning best
practices having schools working closely
with parents and tutors to explain how
to create a good learning environment at
home is
necessary it's also important to be
conscious of Social and mental health
not only of students but also of
teachers and parents and to engage
Services if needed such as psychologists
and school
counselors It's critical to find way
ways to mitigate the stress of this new
environment we also need to ensure that
all students have what they need for
remote learning success at home and that
includes connectivity and
equipment so to strengthen the home
school connection particularly in an
environment where distance learning or
Blended learning has expanded
exponentially it's important to
strengthen that connection between
teachers and the parents or tutors
working at home overstressed parents can
be perceived as roadblocks in the
learning process by some teachers who
see them crashing in on Zoom lessons or
interfering with live classes but
communicating the right information at
the right time can turn parents into
additional Assets in the education
process in terms of strategies there are
quite a few and many begin before
teaching even starts first it's
important to make sure that you have
students home contact information it
sounds quite obvious but naturally to
communicate with parents effectively you
need to have a means of
communication and it's good to have one
that's consistent your school probably
has a list of all students contact
information and the people responsible
for each child try to make that
information work for
you it's easier and more efficient if
you use the same communication portal
platform or strategy for all students
this way you won't be jumping around
from a text message to a phone call to
an email to potentially an online
platform tool if you prefer to
communicate via email and an email
address is not provided for a specific
student you can use the information you
have to contact a parent or tutor and
request their email streamline the
process so you can do everything in an
organized
way make sure students have the
technology they need to follow along
with lessons when they are home
sometimes s they're going to need their
parents help for this questions to ask
are do they have an internet connection
that's assuming that the lessons are
going to be delivered online do they
have the correct app or program or
technology platform downloaded onto
their home computer or their device will
they have access to a device for the
allocated time of the class or will they
need to share it with siblings will they
have access to a device to do their
homework after the class period is over
do they have an appropriate learning
space a desk maybe in a quiet area
either in their room or somewhere else
in the home so that they can work and
follow their online classes and
concentrate many schools provide
families with tech help and other
resources during the pandemic and some
have gotten good at it work with your
school administrator to get all students
properly set up for
Success when it comes to sharing
information with parents there's a lot
of things that you can do to keep them
involved and doing so will ease their
stress level some of the things that you
can share with parents are your contact
information you want to have the
communication lines open both
ways class and lesson schedules are also
a great thing to share if you want to
get more detailed which we certainly
recommend share the learning objectives
or the goals for the lesson of the week
or the
month also share extension activities to
reinforce skills learned these can be
things outside of the the regular
instructional content and can be things
that parents can do with their children
around the house or maybe even
Outdoors many digital programs have
parent and Home Connection tools like
this and activities that are embedded in
the programs themselves make sure you
look for them and make good use of them
when you find
them when it comes to communicating with
parents it's best to keep things simple
so however you choose to do it be sure
to keep things straightforward don't
over complicate not all parents will be
comfortable dealing with technology or
navigating the web or even accessing
resources to help their children set up
online so it's best to anticipate these
challenges in
advance when you communicate use clear
and simple language don't use Advanced
vocabulary that may be too academic or
too technical make sure your message is
clear always have a hard copy component
this is something that I think we've all
learned from experience if you're
linking to a website or reference
material attach a PDF so that parents
who are not internet Savvy can download
it and print it from home if they need
to always use the same format and be
consistent predictability goes a long
way so if you're sending the week
schedules every Sunday evening and maybe
the week's assignments on Mondays keep
it that way and be
consistent don't switch communication
channels or at least not unless you have
to make sure that parents and tutors
know where to go to get the access to
the information that you're sending them
Google classroom for instance has tools
to schedule these interactions that may
be efficient for you to use if you don't
already repeat your message for clarity
when necessary and assume that parents
don't read instruction
CS many people just skip this step for
example if you told parents in an email
at the beginning of the week that a
certain assignment will be due on Friday
send them a gentle reminder on Thursday
nothing wrong with that and it keeps
them engaged and that communication
flowing it's important to make parents
active participants in the learning
process so even if you don't want
parents sitting next to your students
and micromanaging each lesson include
them in the learning process by sharing
the goals of the week or even the goals
of a specific
lesson if parents and students
understand the objectiv students should
aim at they're going to be more likely
to attain those
objectives consider regular video
conferencing meetings a lot of parents
nowadays feel the burden of their
children's education is falling on them
whether that's really true or not so the
same way that you're communicating with
them make sure they also have a way to
communicate back with you
and since many of the parents may share
the same challenges using a video
conferencing meeting via Zoom or similar
apps may be a useful tool this can help
you avoid a lot of individual
calls give parents and tutors the
opportunity to ask questions Express
concerns and talk about pain points they
may be
experiencing getting this done in a
regularly schedule way can help make
things easier for
everyone always be ready for Plan
B when using digital tools it's good to
be ready in case the technology fails
loss of connectivity damaged or corrupt
digital documents the need for an app
update you name it it may happen and
probably in the middle of your lesson
don't be afraid to ask students to use
paper and marker if this happens they
can always share their work by holding
the paper up to the camera or by taking
a picture of it and emailing it to you
if necessary Don't Panic as a developer
of curriculum resources we try to think
about the homeschool connection and bake
it into our programs our strategy to
help alleviate the stress typically
experienced by all participants in a
child's learning environment is to
develop our programs to make the
learning process easier more
straightforward and to the extent
possible
fun many years before the pandemic we at
CCI were very conscious of the impact of
the homeschool School connection on a
child's
education all the programs that we have
developed over our 30 years plus of
history have had components designed to
connect classroom learning to what
parents or tutors could do at home to
reinforce and practice the acquired
skills we have a couple of programs that
exemplify this and we wanted to share a
few details of those with
you the everyday learning fund program
features a digital first streamlined and
easy to follow navigation for students
as well as embedded support to support
the homeschool connection it also has
pre- and post assessments and lesson
plans for teachers everyday learning fun
also received the prestigious smart book
award by academics
Choice the program has 100 ebooks in
reading math and science and almost 500
activities in total it's targeted for
children between ages 4 and 7 years old
prek to 2 grade
it's also ideal for reinforcing at home
the skills learned at school and it
supports parents and tutors every step
of the way it also has great embedded
supports for English language
Learners our graphic novel series is
designed specifically for English
language Learners and gives students who
may not have the language skills the
opportunity to tackle and enjoy classic
works of literature and biography of
some of history's most noteworthy
individuals this program consists of 30
digital graphic novels including both
fiction and non-fiction
genres it's targeted to Children 9 to 14
at grades 4 through 8 and there's a
strong focus on vocabulary acquisition
through the use of Highly rendered
illustrations discussion guides for each
of these short novels are ideal for both
atome family discussions and remote
learning
groups these are just examples of the
types of programs we've created to
support the homeschool
connection but more broadly speaking in
a world where many students are forced
to work either partially or completely
via a remote learning model the
connection between school and home has
become more important than ever before
engaging Learners with fun
developmentally appropriate learning
resources can keep them focused on
learning despite challenging conditions
posed by the environment providing
purposeful easyto usee support resources
for parents and caregivers at home
enables them to meaningfully participate
in The Learning Journey and helps
alleviate some of the stress associated
with the remote learning
model keeping the lines of communication
open and going in both directions is the
best way to have all stakeholders in a
students education engaged resulting in
improved academic
achievement thank you for your time and
good luck putting some of these ideas to
work
