Hybrid Remote & In-Person Teaching

Virtual Classroom Tours

Golden Apple Fellows volunteered to take you into their classrooms to show effective ways of teaching both in-person and using a hybrid model.  Each one is different and unique, providing multiple options.  Please take a moment and watch all the various ways to engage and excite learning in the classroom!

 Remote Teaching

Distance Learning Resources

Golden Apple Foundation of New Mexico knows what a strange and difficult time this is for all educators no matter the school location, type, or grade level. We are all navigating unknown waters, and we know you are all looking for ways to stay connected for your students, their families, and your communities.

Many of you may be looking for resources to support retooling your instruction for distance technology. We took a quick poll to see what some Golden Apple teachers are using and wanted to share this (lightly curated) list. 

Note that this list is offered in the spirit of teamwork and collaboration and do not imply any endorsement. They are just a list of references your colleagues wanted to share with you. Please know that Golden Apple Foundation of New Mexico is committed to supporting your journey for the rest of this school year as best we can, focusing always on optimizing the crucial relationship between teacher and student. We hope you all stay safe and healthy and connected to the communities and people you value most.

Thank you for choosing to be a teacher, and for your dedication to New Mexico’s children.
