We use Lucy Calkin's mini lesson structure for direct teaching during reading and writing tutoring. When we pivoted to online tutoring, we were fortunate that Kristin Ziemke and Katie Muhtaris created a just-in-time resource to support teachers in moving their instruction online that supported the mini lesson structure in a clear, thoughtful and risk-free way. Their site, Read the World Distance Learning Support, was a gift to teachers around the globe. Because this was a familiar structure, it gave my future teachers confidence that they could do their tutoring online. Kristin has some great video demos and recommends one-take videos and releases us from trying to be perfect. This was also relieved the stress on all of us. We just decided to do our best. I invite you to explore this site and do the same.
