Keep a positive attitude. It is likely that you miss seeing your friends and teachers on a regular basis. You also are probably going stircrazy staying at home with fewer options for going out and having fun. Just remember that your teachers and families are here to help you during this uncertain time and that eventually the world will get through the COVID-19 pandemic. © Hanover Research, 2020 HOW TO SUCCEED IN DISTANCE LEARNING: 5 TIPS FOR STUDENTS Prepared for Utah Leading through Effective, Actionable, and Dynamic (ULEAD) Education Works Cited Becker, S. “8 Tips for Middle and High Schoolers to Get Started in Online School.” Connections Academy, April 2, 2020. https://www.connectionsacademy.com/support/resources/article/8-top-tips-for-student-success-in-online-school “Coronavirus and Learning from Home: Tips to Support Success for K-12 Students and Families.” Connections Academy. https://www.connectionsacademy.com/news/releases/coronavirus-and-learning-from-home-for-k-12-students-and-families Pappas, C. “Getting The Most Out of Your eLearning Course: 10 Study Tips for Online Learners.” eLearning Industry, June 10, 2015. https://elearningindustry.com/10-study-tips-foronline-learners-getting-the-most-out-of-your-elearning-course “Student Self-Care Toolkit.” Depression Center, University of Michigan. https://classroommentalhealth.org/self-care/student/ “Studying at Home Due to Coronavirus?

You will concentrate better if you have a space that you use only for learning. This space should be different from where you sleep, relax, or have fun. It should also be quiet and comfortable. You do not want your phone going off while you are working or your brother or sister distracting you while you are listening to your teacher. Take breaks for fun and relaxation. Just because you may be stuck at home does not mean you need to be focused on school work all of the time. You should take time to stretch and move around every so often rather than sitting in front of a computer screen for hours upon hours. Also, be sure to hang out with your family and to call, email, text, or videochat with your friends to maintain social connections in a time of physical distancing
