Distance Learning Unit Plan template provides structure for you as you face the new challenge of delivering myPerspectives instruction in a virtual world.

If teachers do not have access to virtual teacher-led instruction, independent practice can be assigned for students to complete. Note: See pages 3–4 in this document to learn how to access, download, and assign work.
