- · Conducting small group synchronous sessions for students who need reminders to stay on task, checks for understanding, or small group and oral administration
- · Over communication with parents at odd times of the day to give them extra explanation as they are supporting their children at home
- · Pushed out resources in an individualized folder for students to complete T3 grade repair
- · Recorded yourself reading an assignment aloud
