Jackson State offers helpful remote-learning tips for parents in era of COVID-19

(JACKSON, Miss.) — As remote-learning continues indefinitely into the future, parents have transitioned to educators on a more regular basis. It is a role that typically entails years of higher education, the completion of licensure or certification requirements, and perhaps, most importantly, patience. In other words, it is not an easy task.

While some parents have adjusted ideally, others may find it taxing, especially while telecommuting. However, as always, parents will continue to do what they must for the betterment of their families.

Founded in 1877, Jackson State University has a long history of producing educators that have inspired youth around the nation. Kanesha N. Bennett, Ed.D, director of the Lottie W. Thornton Early Childhood Center at Jackson State University, and Diamond Dortch, who teaches English and language arts at Bolton Edwards Elementary Middle School, are graduates of the HBCU.

Both educators share their tips to, hopefully, make home-schooling enjoyable for everyone.

1. Create a schedule/routine

Creating a daily schedule or routine can help add structure and direction for your learners while at home. Doing so can also alleviate some pressure and time for parents to complete tasks themselves.

2. Create a learning space 

Dedicating a space for learning in the home can sharpen your child’s focus, their motivation to learn and heighten creativity.

 3. Utilize teachers and districts

School districts and teachers are working tirelessly to transition to distant learning. This is a learning process for all. Call on your child’s teacher for help when needed.

4. Be innovative

Take the time to learn your child’s interests and learning styles. Learn from each other and have fun during the process.

5. Take advantage of learning resources

Learning resources are available to parents during this pandemic at little to no cost, so be sure to take full advantage.

6. BREATHE

Take a moment to breathe. Be reminded that you have always been your child’s first teacher. This is a confusing time for parents and students. Therefore, remain confident in your efforts to support your learner. You are doing the best you can do!

Below is a suggested home-learning schedule and list of resources provided by the Lottie W. Thornton Early Childhood Center.
