I concluded my previous blog post explaining how in a matter of months I will evolve from Student to Teacher, and will thus presumably be tasked with replicating the classroom experience for remote learners. The "impossible".
This week I had the opportunity to hear from Andy Mead, the Principal of the Manitoba Remote Learning Centre to gain insight into how the province is tackling the push for effective online learning. While Manitoba public school students are currently in class, or alternating classroom and home days, as mentioned before, there are still students who for whatever reason cannot risk entering a physical space with other people amidst the pandemic. This is where MRLC comes into play. While carousing their website, mbremotelearning.ca, I discovered that there are also resources for teachers who are teaching remotely, or partly remote. The Guiding Principles of the centre are community, efficacy, and autonomy, the values we seek to foster in the Education Program. In my limited experience, I have had the opportunity to work with a group of part-time remote learners, and will again soon. I'm thankful for the help!
Amazing meme, Cass! Thanks for the chuckle. I appreciated the three principles guiding the MRLC and think there is applicability in all classrooms, regardless of the delivery method. I think the MRLC will have some good resources available as we navigate this pandemic and hopefully moving forward this initiative can evolve with us.
ReplyDeleteYea the MRLC is great! What an amazing resource for students who are immunocompromised or otherwise high risk. I was really happy to know that families were being given this option. Also, A+ meme. I love star wars.
