Rosalind Wiseman & Douglas Fisher 
The Distance Learning Playbook for Parents 
How to Support Your Child′s Academic, Social, and Emotional Development in Any Setting

We are in this together and will get through this together
 
Parent involvement has always been a vital part of any child’s education, but the pandemic and resulting remote instruction require that parents and educators partner at a deeper level.

 

Following the tremendous success of 
The Distance Learning Playbook, K-12, education authorities Doug Fisher, Nancy Frey, and John Hattie have teamed up with 
New York Times bestselling author and parenting expert Rosalind Wiseman to bring you the consummate guide to support your child′s academic, social, and emotional development in 
any learning environment – while not overwhelming you in the process.

 
This essential guide will arm you with the tools and insight to

• Create an environment conducive to learning, establish routines, and most importantly, take care of yourself and your child


• Maximize the time you spend supporting learning by focusing on what is proven to work best in education


• Help your child develop the cognitive attitudes and habits that foster creativity, critical thinking, and increased responsibility for their learning 


• Support the development of your child’s social and emotional learning skills, including the ability to navigate social interactions, build friendships, and regulate emotions at a time when they have never been more important to have, and more challenging to maintain 

The Distance Learning Playbook for Parents outlines supportive strategies for navigating virtual environments to ensure effective and impactful learning that aligns the needs and expectations of teachers, parents, and students alike
