In this episode of EdLeader, Dr. Jackson sits down with Dr. Michael Sasscer to discuss seven tips for parents in supporting their child’s remote learning. Developed by Larry Ferlazzo, these seven tips give concrete examples of how parents might help their children continue their academic progress even while they are away from school and away from their teachers. Just as most teachers were not trained in how to teach online, most parents have not been taught how to serve as their child’s educational facilitator. These tips for parents are just as applicable to all caregivers and are helpful for EdLeaders in supporting parents during the school closures caused by the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic.

Dr. Michael Sasscer serves as the Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction for the Edenton-Chowan Schools system in Edenton, North Carolina. He has been a public school educator for 23 years. He is a former Teaching Fellow, a former Principal Fellow, and earned National Board Certification as a high school Math teacher.
