Even after the forced school closings of 2020 have generally ceased, the option of providing distance learning under special circumstances remains. Just as instruction has been adapted to fit a distance learning approach, measuring student performance has also been adapted. These measurement guidelines are based upon unique environment of distance learning. In-school performance measurement guidelines are here.

Reset for Patience
Patience is a very important life skill and it is consistently embedded in social emotional learning efforts in schools.

Reset for Neatness
Use this routine spontaneously throughout the day (when the area becomes messy or disorganized or too chaotic) to settle and ground the students with a task of organization that also improves their surroundings.

Reset for Listening
Use this routine spontaneously throughout the day when you find that students have become too relaxed about their learning habits and they need repeated reminders to use their listening skills.

Reset for Kind and Polite
Establish the culture in the classroom that prioritizes and values being kind and polite. For this culture to be established, it is essential that teachers practice it and model it themselves.

Reset for Calm and Settled
This routine should be led and modeled by the teacher. Watching an adult follow the routine will help to activate the students’ mirror neuron network to assist in bringing about the feeling of calm (provided that the teacher is actually achieving a calm state).

Reset for Focus
Use this routine when the class is under responsive to repeated reminders to stay on track, or
when the students are too easily distracted by extraneous and unimportant activity.

Repairing a Communication Breakdown
Use this routine to help students who get frustrated with explaining or asking for help or become agitated and sometimes jump to the wrong conclusion with teacher explanations.

Time out refers to the practice of excluding the student from ongoing classroom activities for a brief period of time. Time out may be used as a consequence step in a sequence of intervention steps that starts with systematic recognition of other behavior and recognition of incompatible behavior, followed by more ignoring of the negative behavior while reinforcing other students, leading to the complete ignoring of the target student until an approximation of the target positive behavior is demonstrated.
