The Challenge

Like every other school during the 2019–2020 school year, the School of Extended Educational Options (SEEO) was forced to make the difficult decision to move students into extended distance learning periods during the COVID-19 school closures.

SEEO needed to extend their management and monitoring of student engagement into the virtual learning space in order to maintain the progress they had made.

The Solution

• Keep students progressing toward their goals by monitoring participation, engagement, and growth through the classroom behavior management and communications platform SchoolMint Hero.
• Communicate expectations clearly, acknowledge and reinforce appropriate behavior, and intervene with issues early.
• Partner with parents, guardians, and student families to keep lines of communication open.
• Use insightful data to drive decisions and promote better student outcomes and achievement.

The Results

• Monitored student engagement online across the learning management and curriculum delivery platforms already in place.
• Documented student progress and acknowledged appropriate behaviors using a digital token economy for their participation in real time.
• Identified students not participating sooner to deliver proactive interventions and support more effectively.
• Used centralized communication via email and/or text messages to better communicate with and involve families in the distance learning process.
