Thank you for your reply, Dr. Rodney. It is definitely true that state boards like ours in Missouri are still catching up! When we began this year of virtual learning we were not clear on what we needed to "turn in" or report to the state from our virtual learning program. After a period of time trying to find the answers, my principal ended up on the phone with the person at MO DESE in charge of virtual learning who basically acknowledged that they weren't sure either but basically approved of what we were doing. After that meeting, we felt more confident in what we were doing to adapt the platform's provided curriculum for our students.

Parent coaching may be one avenue to pursue to enhance virtual learning in the future. This was definitely a big barrier at the beginning of this school year. Maybe I will look into a sort of curriculum unit for parents to become familiar with a variety of technology provided by my district.
