3. Author and Curriculum Director at Libertyville
School District, Dr. Erik Youngman
understands how overwhelming it may seem
to implement remote learning in your school
district, so he broke down this
implementation process into 6 phases.
4. The purpose behind these 6 phases is to
identify the different topics related to remote
learning that may better inform educators.
7. 1. Establish consistency by collaboratively creating
a plan that aligns with requirements and vision
while supporting needs of students, families, and
staff
Dr. Youngman explains that all districts will be
identifying completely different needs. Some may be
looking at the rigor of work, while others are making
students are fed, or have access to technology.
8. 2. Communicate clearly with stakeholders
and train staff
Over communicating during this time can help
eliminate anything that may be lost in
translation while working remotely.
9. 3. Establish culture, relationships and routines
Dr. Youngman suggests developing a new
routine during this time that emphasizes
growing relationships and establishing culture.
10. 4. Empower learning aligned with priority
standards and skills
Dr. Youngman suggests developing a new
routine during this time that emphasizes
growing relationships and establishing culture.
11. 5. Enhance engagement, choice, connections,
and creativity
This phase begins after you have established a
foundation of focus, so you can begin to think
about how to empower students with choice.

13. 6. Gather feedback to guide continuous
support
Dr. Youngman’s school is now analyzing student
and teacher survey responses to celebrate
success and find ways to continuously improve
this remote learning program.
