Resources for Teachers and Families During COVID-19

 

CLI Engage features many resources to support schools and teachers in maintaining relationships with families and offering supports for learning at home.

 

We’ve compiled a set of tools and tips on CLI Engage for Teachers and Families. We hope they will be helpful as you support children and families during this unprecedented period, following public health guidance for social distancing to control the spread of COVID-19.

 

Connect with families and offer supportive, appropriate, engaging, and fun activities! The CIRCLE Activity Collection for Families provides you with a full set of lessons for children (birth through age 5) at home that you can align with your current instructional goals. It is designed to offer you multiple ways to share activities that children can do at home with their families to continue their learning and developmental progress. The collection is publicly accessible (no login required!) and is optimized for mobile viewing and searching.

 

Please share these resources with your teachers and families! The resources on our website are components of our family engagement toolkit. Learn more about our tools for school leaders and teachers, and visit the CIRCLE Activity Collection for Families!
