Are Parent-Teacher Partnerships the New Normal in Education?
With the pandemic forcing students, teachers, and parents to adapt to online learning, everyone had to scramble to figure out this new normal. As teachers figured out how to adapt their lessons and parents balanced working from home, many students fell behind. This meant that sometimes parents had to supplement lessons for their children or establish a relationship with the teacher to make sure that their student was keeping up in class.
As a new school year approaches, these parent-teacher partnerships are here to stay. Due to teacher shortages, many parents are still pitching in.
At BlueSky, our students have the resources to succeed, without needing extra help at home. Here are a few ways that BlueSky Online School can make life easier both for you and your student.
Creating a partnership from the start
At BlueSky, we ensure that your family feels supported. We assign each student an advisor, counselor, and school social worker. This personalized support team gets to know your student, their goals, learning style, and circumstances. Our team provides one-on-one support and makes sure that your student performs to their fullest potential.
While traditional students may not have people checking in on them, BlueSky students have support both in and out of class.
Flexible scheduling options
Unfortunately, the traditional classroom environment can be time-consuming. Not only are students in class for hours each day, but they come home with even more homework.
With BlueSky’s two learning options, students have time for extracurricular activities. BlueSky students can choose between live or pre-recorded lessons, depending on their availability.
Supplement traditional learning with virtual school
Resources aren’t limited to your own school. If your child is falling behind or wants to get ahead, virtual learning is a convenient way to get extra help.
Whether your student is attending school in-person or online, it’s important to find what works. One method won’t work for all families. Even within the same family, different children do better in certain learning environments.
For some students, in-person learning isn’t the right fit. Some may thrive outside the distractions of a classroom, or may prefer the flexibility of online learning.
