What is the Learning Team (LSS teacher, student, parent and tutor) role?
Each distance learning student should have a home mentor. Usually, and especially with our youngest students, that home mentor is the parent. The mentor helps the student organize and structure his life, ensures a proper working environment and that the student has the proper tools and materials, and acts as the student’s partner in the learning experience. The mentor also acts as a learning companion, advocate and facilitator for the child in her relationship with the school, working closely with the LSS teacher to ensure a successful learning experience. The student, parent and LSS teacher make up a working, learning team. As students get older and the work gets more complex, or when greater structure and help are needed, the parent may hire a tutor. The tutor becomes part of the team, often sharing the role of the home mentor, guiding the daily or weekly learning of the student.
