Creating Space

So let’s recap: 1. Physical Space- Flat surface, always available, comfortable seat and good lighting. 2. Storage and Supplies - keep it simple and accessible 3. Include students in creating your learning space to foster investment and motivation. I leave with this last bit of advice Be flexible and allow your learning set up, to evolve as you discover what’s best for you and your family. _____________________________________________________ Show Research: https://elegantsi.com/blog/homeschool-room [https://elegantsi.com/blog/homeschool-room] https://teachingmama.org/7-tips-for-homeschooling-in-a-small-space/ [https://teachingmama.org/7-tips-for-homeschooling-in-a-small-space/] https://www.forbes.com/sites/amandalauren/2020/04/07/when-coronavirus-pivots-education-plans-how-to-set-up-a-homeschooling-space-anywhere/#35711f841d9f [https://www.forbes.com/sites/amandalauren/2020/04/07/when-coronavirus-pivots-education-plans-how-to-set-up-a-homeschooling-space-anywhere/#35711f841d9f] Mannarini et al.

A RARE. Trailer

Students and parents are faced with a huge mountain of challenges when it comes to virtual learning. I created this podcast and the accompanying resource center because it was clear to me that the system has failed families in response to this pandemic. The health threats of this virus has caused us to unexpectedly jump into the world of remote learning as a community. What our system has failed to do is show us how to make a functional classroom at home and foster social emotional and behavioral development while in isolation. As both a therapist and an RARE. advocate I want to shed light on the invisible struggles that we are faced with and provide respite where I can. That’s why I created the “RARE. kinda education”, so that it can be a one stop reliable and evidence based resource center full of recommendations, tutorials and pre-made systems to help you create a successful classroom at home. If you haven’t already, go ahead and subscribe to the podcast so you can be the first to know when new episodes drop. In addition, to our free weekly content we also have an exclusive membership program on Patreon. With three membership tiers offering a range of additional tools, content, research and resources there is a place for all parents to find the support they need. So, head over there and take a look around. I am really looking forward to sharing everything I know about social, emotional and behavior learning with you.
