The Anglo-American School of Sofia’s approach to distance learning begins with the assertion that teachers are committed to providing effective teaching and learning regardless of whether it is face to face or online.

The term distance learning is used to describe situations when learning occurs away from campus (online) for all or a specific cohort of students and teachers. We understand the invaluable social interactions and mediation that occur naturally among students and between teachers and students on campus. Although these interactions cannot be recreated in the same way, we are committed to finding methods to provide opportunities for this support and interaction. Additionally, teachers must find new methods for providing timely and specific feedback to support student growth and learning. Accordingly, this DLP provides guidelines and insights about how AAS’s faculty can approach teaching and learning during distance learning.

This delivery plan reflects our conviction that quality learning can occur at a distance using technology as a means to deliver instruction and connect with students. AAS’s shift to distance learning begins with the consideration of how we can intentionally align distance learning experiences with our instructional approach.
