Home-Schooling Tips from Dr. Trakhman and Others

Dr. Lauren Trakhman, assistant clinical professor and director of outreach in the Department of Human Development and Quantitative Methodology, and two doctoral students, Virginia Byrne and Kate Maloney Williams, were featured in Maryland Today's "How to Keep Kids Learning (and Parents Happy)."
“We need to have grace during such a strange time,” [Dr. Trakhman] said. “We’re not gonna do this perfectly. Parents are trying their best.”
The article offers tips to guide parents on this new path of home-schooling, such as advising parents to maintain a structured schedule and children to take notes on a whiteboard. Online resources are also available to keep children learning amid the school closures.
