At Home with APS Video Series LogoToday, the Department of Teaching and Learning and Arlington Educational Television (AETV) released the first episode in a new instructional video series called, At Home with APS.

At Home with APS is a weekly broadcast designed to bring teacher-led instruction into the homes of APS students and families. Each episode will feature instruction that is aligned with the Virginia Standards of Learning (SOLs) for students in grades K-2, in addition to the instructional resources made available to them as part of the APS Continuous Learning. To learn more about the K-2 instructional packet, listen to the latest episode of the What’s Up, APS? Podcast.

The first episode of At Home with APS features early literacy instruction that includes phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, reading, and writing. Family literacy tips will also be provided to support families as they extend literacy instruction into their daily routines. In addition, a short video on social-emotional learning will accompany the main At Home with APS episode weekly.
