Hybrid Best Practices

Don't be afraid to fail

Use paraprofessionals in groups

All students have headphones at all times

use assessments to group students

remember that hybrid looks different for every teacher/classroom/student

Student engagement

Student centered

PLANNING
Plan according the various levels of the students
Don’t use too many different tools that confuse and overwhelm the students

account for possible down time

give students OPPORTUNITIES to be accountable

Use flex time/flex spaces

Have a back-up plan

All students must have go-to enrichment activities, like Newsela, CommonLit, Independent Read, etc.

There's no one correct way; do what works for you and your students. What works for one class may not even work for the next group of students.

Model: Whole group opening, split for rotations, whole group closing (this can, and probably will, take multiple days)

Increases engagement

TEACH WHAT ACCOUNTABILITY LOOKS LIKE
You can’t expect students to take control of their learning if you don’t let them
BUT you can’t let them if you don’t first teach them how
Be flexible but have consistent expectations
