Schoology: Addressing the Unique Needs of the One-Room Schoolhouse Setting

Schoology: Addressing the Unique Needs of the One-Room Schoolhouse Setting

Attention, one-room schoolhouse instructors!

Schoology is a powerful online tool to ease the isolation that can come with our settings and provide a place for growth and positive discussion on issues, concerns and curriculum that are unique to the one-room schoolhouse context. The One-Room Schoolhouse group on Schoology is a place to “meet” education professionals just like you, seek advice, share resources, and voice your concerns.

Not sure if you are a One-Room Schoolhouse practitioner?

Answer yes to any of the following questions, and you are in the right place:

  • I teach/manage multi-level classes
  • I teach/manage multi-subjects
  • I am interested in all things ABE

What have we accomplished so far?

More than two years of discussion and collaboration through the One-Room Schoolhouse group on Schoology have helped many ABE practitioners across Minnesota and led to wonderful professional development sessions and additional resources, such as the following:

  • Citizenship 101
  • Multi-level ELL classes
  • Drivers Education Resources
  • TABE 11/12 sessions
  • Standards and Adult Diploma

~Collaboration helps to benefit ourselves, our students and our communities.~

ABE practitioners working in one-room schoolhouse settings have unique challenges that have become ever more complicated as our field evolves to include an emphasis on standards, career pathways, technology, student persistence, and more.
