An Inside Look at Distance Learning at Ánimo Florence-Firestone
When school districts around the nation shifted to distance learning, we reimagined our learning environments. Through a 100% live distance learning model, digital tools, and collaboration, Ánimo Florence Firestone Charter Middle School has built a virtual launchpad to help our students succeed on their path to college.
When Green Dot students attend their online classes, they receive at least three and a half hours of live instruction daily, and connect and engage with their teachers and peers in real-time. Our teachers and counselors have found new ways to connect with our students, including virtual office hours, using interactive class material, and even building online portals for additional resources.
Watch how Ánimo Florence-Firestone nurtures the potential that lives within all students.
