They live in the Essex School District, which is reopening schools using a hybrid model where students attend school in-person twice a week and learn remotely the rest of the time."I know all about the strains emotionally," she said, reflecting on the last several months of the pandemic. "COVID has taken over my world."LeClaire is also a business owner, taking on the role of executive director at Sylvan Learning Center's Essex location right at the start of the pandemic. They had to shut their doors to the students they help, going completely virtual like the rest of the world.As an educator and a parent, LeClaire said she learned a lot through that process. Her biggest tip for parents is to minimize any and all distractions.To do this, first she said to find a dedicated space for your child to work. It can be anywhere from a corner of a kitchen table to an entire room. "Setting those clear expectations for that learning environment is key," LeClaire said. "Make sure that they know this is where you need to go and this is what's expected of you."Another aspect of that remote-learning set up is technology access. Many schools are holding Zoom classes throughout the day, so ensuring the space has reliable internet access is crucial to a student's success. LeClaire said getting your child involved in the planning of their education will be valuable as the school year goes on. For example, she recommends families create weekly, or even daily, schedules or checklists. When planning ahead, include students in the process and go over the expectations."It's a great opportunity for parents to start teaching their children to become managers of their own education," she said. "Especially older children — middle and high school — they can create a daily checklist for themselves."Part of those checklists should include breaks, for snacks and mental rest. LeClaire recommends being flexible with the virtual learning process and be open to changes throughout the school year. She even said she'll be relying on others to see what works for them. LeClaire called this her "educational team," which can be anyone from teachers to other parents and neighbors. "Share your experiences, ideas and your resources with each other," she said. "Don't be afraid to ask for help because everybody needs it."Many parents are anxious ahead of another year of partial or fully-remote learning.Leah LeClaire is a mom of four, with two kids still in school.
