Remote Learning Non-Digital Cluster Packet

Dear Parent/Guardians, Families, and Students,

We hope that you continue to remain safe and healthy during this time. This packet is intended for students that participate in a significantly modified curriculum in a CPS cluster classroom. Inside this packet you will find resources and tools to help set up your child for learning in the home.

1. Setting Up a Learning Environment:

It is important to set up a clear space within your home for your child to engage in learning activities. Here are some tips to support setting up a learning environment:

A. Find a consistent space within your home for your child to complete school work throughout the day. It could be a room, table spot, desk, tv tray, or something different.

B. Find a seating option in your home that is most comfortable for your child. It could be a dining chair, living room chair, on a carpet square, exercise ball or something different.

C. Determine if the learning space is free of distractions or interruptions via the television, family pet, or day-to-day family conversations/interactions.

D. Consider labeling the learning space using the attached visuals. Labels in the learning space or home environment could help the child understand the expectations throughout the day.

E. Consider using a timer to set up a work/break schedule. If the student is able to complete a task or work for a certain number of minutes, consider allowing them a 5 or 10 minute break in between activities to move around, get a drink, or talk with a family member. By using a timer or structured system, this will help create a predictable rhythm of learning within your home.

F. Chicago Public Schools has recommended different accommodations that families can utilize at home. Please see below:

Accommodations for Non-Digital Learning at Home

Classroom Environment Remote Learning Environment

Break tasks into manageable chunks. ● Chunk tasks in the family schedule, in student assignments, and in lessons as necessary.

● If the student utilized this support in school, consider a checklist or task list.

● Use the attached visuals to create a schedule that works for your child at home.

Provide 2-3 step directions. ● Minimize oral directions or instructions that you give your child.

● Provide clear, concise directions while engaging your child in activities.

● Maintain simplified, routine directions if accessing technology for remote learning.

Check for understanding before proceeding with multi-step directions.

● Model to students what you are expecting them to do prior to asking them to do it.

● Provide a moment of wait time when asking a child to complete a task. We recommend a parent or caregiver count to 10 inside their head before giving another prompt or direction.

● Consider reviewing or repeating activities within this packet to increase overall understanding.

Provide visual supports when introducing new concepts or skills.

● Utilize the visual supports and Communication Core Board to support student understanding and comprehension.

Allow Breaks ● Schedule breaks within the family schedule and/or student learning routine. Breaks could be 2 minutes to 30 minutes long depending on your child’s needs.

● Activities to do during a break include but are not limited to:

○ Going for a walk, getting a drink, watching a short preferred video (2-3 minutes), listening to a song, dance, play with a fidget, play a quick game, or talk with a family member

Provide frequent reinforcement. ● Give your child choices of what they can work on, “Would you like to start with math or reading?”

● Ask your child what type of break they would like to take prior to starting an assignment or activity. This will allow you an opportunity to remind them of the fun activity they can participate in once they complete the assignment.

● Praise your child for a job well done and do so frequently! Some children benefit from positive praise every minute and others benefit from it less frequently. Be specific with your praise, “You did a great job reading that word!” or “I like when you communicate your wants and needs!”.

Use individual student schedules. ● Use the visuals attached to this packet to create your own visual schedule. Consider cutting them out and organizing them based on your child’s learning schedule.

2. Schedules & Routines for Remote Learning:

It is important to create a consistent and routine schedule to support your child during remote learning. In this packet, we have attached a daily and weekly sample family learning schedule to use as a reference. Every child’s learning style and needs are unique, therefore we encourage you to modify this schedule as for what works best for your child and family. We recommend using the attached visuals and template to support your child’s instruction and understanding at home. Recommendations for Visuals at Home:

1. Cut visual pictures out and use them to label different areas and/or items in your home.

2. Utilize these icons to help build a schedule for your child each day. 3. Utilize these visuals to support your child’s understanding during

instruction utilizing Unique Learning Materials. 4. Use the Remote Learning Choice Board that is attached to allow your

student to point or verbalize what they would like to do first or next. Consider using this Choice Board as a Bingo Board for an additional supplemental activity!

3. Prompting:

PROMPTING TYPES- Visual Prompt: To provide a visual reminder or indicator as a prompt for an answer. Verbal Prompt: To prompt a child’s response through a verbalstatement or question. Gestural Prompt: To use body language to gesture or prompt a child’s response. Model Prompt: To show a child how to complete a problem, activity, or task. Partial Physical Prompt: To gently touch a child’s hand or arm using a finger or open palm to begin work or initiating a problem. Full Physical Prompt: To put your hands over a child’s hands (hand-over-hand) to initiate and/or complete a task. PROMPTING AMOUNT-

Independent: 0 prompts Minimal: 1-2 prompts Moderate: 3-5 prompts Maximum: 6 or more prompts PROMPTING HIERARCHY- The Prompting Hierarchy is a strategy to increase and decrease the type and amount of prompts yougive a student. If teaching a new skill, start at the bottom with more prompts and move up to less prompts. If maintaining or practicing a skill that has been taught, start from the top and move your way down as you increase the type and amount of prompts you give your child to help them find success. The less intensive prompts you give, the more independent the student will be. The more intensive prompts you give, the less independent the student will be. If able, talk with your child’s teacher to see what type and level of prompts they receive for different activities and subjects.

4. Communication: In this packet, you will find a Communication Core Board. This tool has 36 “core” words that can be used for you and your child to communicate. Please see below for different ways to utilize it.

1. Point to one, two, or three symbols while communicating a message to your child: “I” + “like” + “you” “You” + “do” + “good” “More”? “Help”?

2. Ask your child to point to words to help clarify their wants and needs or to initiate their wants or needs.

3. Use this to support prompting during activities or provide further clarification.

5. Home Activities to Support Remote Learning: These are activities that can engage your children using common household items and do not require digital or printing access. The list contains a variety of activities/suggestions across all levels to support remote learning.

a. Create a routine/schedule for the chosen activities and integrate them throughout your daily activities.

b. Address activities in smaller increments of time over several sessions at different times of day. Build on the amount of time for each activity or step.

6. Unique Learning System Academic Content:

Materials are from a specialized learning curriculum called Unique and are based on Common Core State Standards. Here are some strategies and tips for supporting your child in learning with these materials. Thank you for your time, energy, and support in leading these activities at home!

Stories:

a. If able, have your child highlight or support your child in highlighting key vocabulary. b. If able, have your child touch or support your child in touching key vocabulary words. c. Consider asking your child questions about the story and have them respond in their preferred

style of communication.

Core Vocabulary Board: What is it? Communication boards can be used to introduce the power of language and of Core Vocabulary. They can be used to model language and increase participation. Combined with activity specific words, they can be used to make activities, such as reading books, accessible and engaging.

d. Use this with your child to talk about a story. You can use this board by modeling different words and pointing to the matching picture. Point to the vocabulary word and picture as you model connections you are making to the text.

e. If able, have your child point to the vocabulary word or use this board to foster communication. f. Consider referencing this board while asking questions or having your child provide answers.

Comprehension Questions/Tasks: g. If able, have your child select the correct answer by circling, pointing, or verbalizing the answer. h. If your child requires fewer options, consider cutting out the choices to present them to your

child one or two options at a time. i. Use visual pictures to cut and glue the answers on the document. j. Encourage your child to participate verbally, through the Core Vocabulary Board, their

communication system, eye gaze, etc.

Math Activities: k. Engage your child with the different math activities. Consider using everyday items from home

as counters and visual examples (pencils, pens, spoons, pieces of paper, etc.) to further support learning.

l. Feel free to cut and manipulate the worksheets/documents to best support your child visually.
