Teaching children while they are homebound creates a learning situation that is unusual for the student, the teacher, and the parent.  Whether the extended absence is caused by the student’s health, the COVID-19 pandemic, or any other event, the situation can be challenging.  As educators ourselves, we want to support parents and teachers with ideas for teaching children who are homebound, whether it’s for one student or an entire class.  To see materials currently available, check out the Resource Links, Student Tools, and Teachers Tools below and  and the Resource Packages to the right. 

And, as always, you can search all resources available on our website by keyword, educational standard, category, or video ID.  Just click on “Search” on our home page.
