Get ready for learning with a deep cleaning of the home-based classroom learning environment in Central Maryland!

Some parents, school administration districts and educators across the country are making the decision whether the students will return to school full time in the fall, or whether they will be utilizing the Internet and distance learning options. It seems that the latter is the rule right now, with most students planning to learn in some type of home-based learning environment either alone or with a group of similarly situated students in their community.

There are recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) as to how cohort learning or POD based learning in the home setting can proceed carefully and safely for all participants. This idea of cohort or POD learning is a new term that was created by schools during the pandemic, to be able to accommodate students as they began to be schooled in the home setting. The PODs are usually created by parents to support remote learning of small groups of children in the home of the parents. Often the parents take turns hosting the learning events, or they can meet at a designated home or place offsite from their residence as opened businesses and organizations allow with social distancing rules in effect.

Instead of going back to school to learn in traditional classrooms, students around the country will be educated at home this fall. Some schools will make the decision later in the year, as schools around the country decide if they will open their doors to students in November, or whether they will wait until after January 2021 to reopen their doors.

There are many reasons for schools allowing and encouraging cohort or POD learning, such as with the idea that POD learning:

•    Decreases opportunities for exposure to SARS and COVID-19 viruses and other communicable disease among students
•    Reduces contact of students with shared surfaces that are already contaminated
•    Helps remove threats of a virus if one student has a positive test result for a virus
•    Allows for targeting education for students in a safe home setting and environment to increase learning without threats of disease

Parents who are homeowners, apartment dwellers or anyone else involved in accommodating PODs this fall in Central Maryland should schedule a deep cleaning of their home-based classroom. The deep cleaning will help create and support a clean environment for children being taught at home. Parents can also follow up with frequent cleaning, during the time that they are running the POD home-based learning classroom environment at their home. This regular cleaning will help to keep diseases, bacteria and viruses out of the home, and provide the safest possible learning environment for all students, siblings, tutors, parents and guests to your home.
