Ensuring your students get the support they need to succeed is essential, especially as remote learning becomes the new normal. Educators must implement simple yet effective strategies to create an inclusive learning experience that considers the varied learning styles of their pupils.

So, how can teachers provide a positive, engaging and inclusive education while distance learning is in place?

G-Suite for Education

Clear Communication

Clarity and understanding are crucial if you want to avoid miscommunication between educators, students, and parents. Setting clear expectations for your students and clarifying what they can expect from you will aid in the struggle many pupils may experience in an educational online setting.
