Kindergarten Parental Readiness: How to Support Parents and Students Through Resource Videos in a Virtual Model

The Covid-19 pandemic of 2020 led to a reliance on virtual instruction. The virtual model entails a daily attendance, graded learning and assessments, an emphasis on live instruction, in- person individualized instruction, service, and assessment, and family participation. For this project I created a resource page to assist all families and students for a positive experience through this new model for the Fall of 2020. I created resource videos to support parents with additional activities and provide additional aide for students who have an Individualized Educational Plan (IEP), 504, or are in intervention. These videos are located on the resource page and studio page of our learning management tool called Canvas. If a student is absent or if a student needs additional support at home, these videos are accessible to my students and their families. Lastly, the resource page will have guided links of the student’s schedule from Monday-Friday. The purpose of this was to provide students and families who are new to virtual learning and providing an easy transition into a new world of education.
