From Suzy Rollins, author of Teaching Vulnerable Students, a collection of effective practices to move students forward in a positive way when they have gaps in learning, whether due to the COVID-19 slide or other factors. In this QRG in the new set of Strategies for Distance Learning Guides, Rollins outlines how to tactically address academic gaps in the context of new learning situations, using well-tested strategies:

• Learning maps
• Scaffolding devices
• Prior knowledge activation
• Vocabulary-building
• Cooperative learning
• Motivational techniques

With extensive tips for how to maintain these goals in both synchronous and asynchronous learning activities, this guide will be a go-to resource for teachers of newcomers and English learners.

Each 8.5 x 11 multi-panel guide is laminated for extra durability and 3-hole-punched for binder storage.
