Five tips for home schooling during Covid-19 |
All the children received home education as schools were closed due to Kovid-19. Primary schools in certain countries will open in May (in part). Not all children go to full school immediately. For example, elementary schools halve the size of groups in the classroom. About 50 percent of children always go to school. The other half of the time they took part in home education. Schools are now deciding how to best organize it and then parents will be notified.
Tip 1. Keep it achievable
Learning at home should also be fun, so that it can be held by the kids but especially for you as a parent you do it while maintaining comfort and without increasing their stress.
Stable rhythm
A steady rhythm helps keep it fun for everyone. You can split the day's school chores and make it an option to relax, eat or drink moments and play outside. Do not handle the schedule too tightly. When children become restless or restless, it is best to start other activities.
Relationships between parents and children as teachers and students can create tension.
Be aware of changed relationships. As a parent you are not trained as a home teacher and you need to attach it to work. If that doesn’t work in the beginning, try relaxing in other activities together.
Tip 2. Alternative work and practice
It is important for all children to practice during the day. Some children are very much in need of practice and sports. It is better to stimulate the movement.
Fortunately, there are many sports clubs open where you can practice outside. This means that many children will get their rhythm back in their weekly (sports) activities.
YouTube has all kinds of fitness videos for kids and teens. In ten minutes, these videos give a short workout. Of course running or cycling is also an option
Tip 3. Use teaching materials in and out of school
Lots of digital learning materials are available now. Primary and secondary school teachers usually give assignments online. The kids are ready for the work they have to do. It provides support and structure.
Teachers must make sure that the elements match the level of the child. It is important to be aware of this if you use outdoor school teaching materials.
Tip 4. Talk to others about how things are going
Make sure everyone has a place to talk and ask questions about how things are going. Everyone is trying their best and figuring out what works. Sometimes it goes well and sometimes it doesn’t. It helps to share these experiences with others. If things don't go well, get advice.
Kids talk better after a few hours of work. For example, ask what they have learned. Not to test them, but to show that you take school work seriously and to get it done well together.
Tip 5. Arrange for timely assistance
If it is not okay to give or receive home tuition, it is important to get help. Sometimes distance learning is not successful because there is tension at home or there are no resources like computer or internet.
Even now that learning is partially resuming, organizing activities within weeks can be complicated. Younger children may already be able to go to school and older children may not yet. It is possible that some children attend school and some still need home education. Contact the teacher or anyone else from the school if you have difficulty.
