Achieve Life Skills Remote and Hybrid Guidance Document
“The Life Skills titles are very easy to transition from in the classroom instruction to online instruction, using Google Classroom. I was able to use the information and format it to reach all of my learners, while still being interactive and checking for comprehension. Even without working on these skills in the classroom, the online format helped to enforce the skills learned, while being at home during the stay-at-home order.”

Pre/Post Tests Options
- If your students DON’T have online access, Education Associates provides the hard copy file and you can include it in your take home packets.
- If students DO have online access you can do what Brook did.

The on-going site license is offered on a building-wide basis. However, Education Associates has relaxed the site license agreement during this pandemic time to support educators at home:
- Allowing educators to use our curriculum with students at home.
- Helping minimize the digital divide, we are also offering the ability for educators to duplicate our curriculum for take-home packets for those students with limited internet access.
