As we are all starting to learn, warm and caring remote classrooms needs to be a priority to target student engagement and build community. In the Remote Learning section of our website, we have included a Teacher Planning Handbook to guide you through planning for the unit, the week and the lesson. One of the tools you will find is a Facilitation Moves in Synchronous Sessions Guide, which provides a menu to support your instructional delivery in a remote class. TYWLS Harlem Science teacher Melina Melendez wanted to focus on how to open and close her lessons in a way that felt positive, warm and encouraging to her students. 

Watch the various instructional moves Melina makes to foster an inviting and caring class.
