HOME GUIDE ROLE IN ELEMENTARY AND JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL
ONLINE CLASSES

In Basic Education, parents/guardians engagement in online learning set-up is very much
important. The partnership between the parents and school plays a vital role for
delivering the right online education. Moving from regular physical classes to a
completely virtual learning environment will establish routines at home. This section
introduces the concept of a Home Guide in Online Learning. A Home Guide is a person
who can be a parent, guardian, sibling or a tutor whose role is to facilitate the transition
of face to face classes to Online or Modular Learning Modality of the student/pupil at
home. Home Guides are highly recommended for Pre-School up to Grade 3 levels in the
elementary department.

To support everyone through this transition, below are the recommended guidelines for
home guides in navigating online learning education:

● Help your child create and stick to a time routine. Set a sleeping or waking up
clock schedule.
● Assign a learning space at home for your child that is cozy, quiet, well-lighted and
distraction-free.
● Reach out to your child’s teacher for any concerns and requests, and to know
which tasks your child should focus on.
● Always remind your child about the proper netiquettes during the online classes.

● Take on the role of “encourager”. It is best to supervise your child during the
online class, especially if your child is very young (Nursery - Grade 2), to
accomplish their activities/assessment and maintain their focus.
