CLC Teacher Resources
About Coronavirus Learning Companion
We created the Coronavirus Learning Companion to help parents and teachers share important information about coronavirus and COVID-19 in the form of enjoyable stories and activities.
The main Coronavirus Learning Companion (CLC) page has a series of stories and activities for the general public. We’ve added teacher resources to help you use CLC in the classroom, whether in-person or remote. Teacher resources include
- Easy-to-copy links to comic stories so you can add them to your online course pages.
- Close reading questions (including forms ready for Google Classroom) to help students get the most from the stories.
- Inquiry guides for quickly and easily transforming step-by-step experiments into student-designed experiments.
The Coronavirus Learning Companion materials are ideal for middle school and above. Younger students can also enjoy the stories and materials with a bit more help.
How to Download the Teacher Resources
We’re able to create and provide the Coronavirus Learning Companion through grant funding by the Science Education Partnership Award (SEPA) Program of the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS). As part of our funding agency reporting, we need to document the use of these materials. So, please help us out by answering a few brief questions on the form below, and you’ll be immediately shown a password and link to the downloads. You’ll also receive an e-mail with the same link and password.
The form below also offers you the option to inquire about partnering with WE4H in your use of Coronavirus Learning Companion materials in the classroom (online or in person). School partners will be expected to collect student pre-post data (using provided WE4H forms) and will receive (at no charge) activity materials kits and WE4H printed face masks for students. If you indicate interest on the CLC Access Request Form, we will contact you to further discuss becoming a WE4H school partner
