The 6 Principles® Quick Guide: Remote Teaching of K-12 English Learners
Andrea Hellman

book cover

TESOL’s handy new resource, The 6 Principles Quick Guide: Remote Teaching of K12 English Learners, is here to make remote teaching smoother for you and bring out the best in your students. There’s an overwhelming amount of information available on remote teaching, but it’s not been presented and organized within a framework that’s easy to follow and implement for English language educators.  

Within the six-panel Quick Guide, you’ll find tips, tools, checklists, and more resources to put each of the The 6 Principles for Exemplary Teaching of English Learners into action—from supporting learners’ socioemotional needs to adapting lesson plan delivery for remote learning.

The 6 Principles are:

  1. Know Your Learners
  2. Create Conditions for Language Learning
  3. Design High-Quality Lessons for Language Development
  4. Adapt Lesson Delivery as Needed
  5. Monitor and Assess Student Language Development
  6. Engage and Collaborate within a Community of Practice

You’ll also find insights from fellow educators:

“Unlike a traditional classroom, distance learning is easy to leave and difficult to rejoin after a period of absence. The most essential role for the teacher is to keep students coming.”

You’re not alone in teaching remotely when you have The 6 Principles Quick Guide by your side!

The 6 Principles Quick Guide: Remote Teaching of K–12 English Learners is available to order at http://sites.tesol.org/Bookstore.
