SCCOE 2020 LCAP Survey OYA Supplement Student Ideas for Better Supporting Students and Families During Distance Learning [Open Response Item] Eleven (11) students offered suggestions for how to better support students and families during distance learning. Due to the lack of strong themes, raw student responses are provided below. Letting students know that they can receive help and that their mental health is first. In my personal experience although [in] distance learning I have gotten the help I ve needed. A weekly/monthly check-in with the students to see if they're on task or need help with anything, at home or at school, etc. More support in tough assignments. Every 2-3 weeks have a family check in via zoom. Have them come to school at least once a week. Not sure, the computer can make my eyesight hurt due to my eyeglasses. Just reach out to students and ask if they need help. Give us more instructions. Try and make the assignments with easy direction for students I guess. continue the flexibility, communication, activity, and constant reassurance and open arms for help providing as many resources as possible, such as free headphones for better concentration and focus, possibly a desk, or at least a desk chair
