Private schools have developed an array of new ways for students to learn, stay engaged and thrive.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"New_technology\"><\/span>New technology<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>From video conferencing to peer-to-peer communication tools, private schools have leveraged <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> in ways they hadn\u2019t before. \u201cAcross grade levels, students practised creating and communicating through blog posts, digital <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>papers, and digital art and design,\u201d says Heather Henricks, vice-principal, learning, research and innovation, at St. Clement\u2019s School in Toronto. \u201cClasses embraced digital resources to provide alternate styles of investigation, including virtual labs and simulations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Early in the pandemic, many private schools, like Unionville Montessori School (UMS) in Markham, Ont., also adopted hybrid learning models. \u201cWe offered students the opportunity to be in-person or brought into the classroom through Zoom and, later, Google Meet,\u201d says UMS elementary principal, Dave Treherne. \u201cStudents always remained with their cohort, so if they returned from online to in-person, they were with their peers and friends.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"New_reach\"><\/span>New reach<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>All that new technology has allowed private schools to broaden the scope of their education. No longer confined within a classroom\u2019s four walls, pandemic-related virtual learning has opened up the world\u2013literally. \u201cTeachers could extend the classroom to a wide variety of experts and experiences,\u201d Henricks says. \u201cGuest speakers, including many alumni, called in from across Canada and around the world.\u201d Parents and families can likewise \u201cattend\u201d classes or school events when students log in.<\/p>\n<p>Private schools have not only embraced this new global reach, but adopted it as part of their permanent teaching and recruitment models going forward. \u201cWe\u2019re now completely set up to invite educators, guest speakers and students from other parts of the country or world into our school,\u201d says Treherne.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"New_discoveries\"><\/span>New discoveries<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The feelings of isolation that were universal when the pandemic began have given way to new opportunities for private-school students to connect. Henricks describes an initiative for her school\u2019s Grade 3 students to become pandemic pen pals with local senior citizens. \u201cEveryone involved became quite enamoured with the project, eagerly awaiting a response to their last piece of correspondence,\u201d she says, citing the project\u2019s educational and psycho-<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a> mutual benefits.<\/p>\n<p>Many private schools also discovered the appeal and unexpected efficacy of finding new locations to hold class, on and off campus. \u201cTeachers were encouraged to take their classes outside and made excellent use of our outdoor spaces and the local neighbourhood,\u201d Henricks says. \u201cOur Grade 12 Latin class recreated the Roman Forum on our roof using chalk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At UMS, students and staff found that, despite adversity, comfort, community and success could still be had. \u201cStudents managed the experience [of the pandemic] knowing friends would be seen each day, teachers would be consistent throughout the year and day-to-day school life would be as \u2018normal\u2019 as possible under the conditions,\u201d Treherne says. \u201cThey adapted quickly and performed well.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async defer crossorigin=\"anonymous\" src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
