Online Instruction
Support and Guidance
The Focus
The Ask
- Every teacher needs to connect personally with every student. This is a wellness check in, not an assignment update.
- For K-5, the communication will be to the families. Conferences are already scheduled. If at all possible, stick to the original plan for virtual conferencing. Using *67 before dialing will block your phone number so parents don't have access. If you have any concerns about this communication, please work with your principal for alternatives.
- For secondary, emailing students is a good first step. Introduce yourself, welcome the students, etc. Ask for a response so that you know the student has received the message. If they do not, continue to follow up one more time with the student and then with the family.
Begin thinking about how to keep students and families engaged. How do we keep them connected, thinking and reading. No assignments this week, but activities in Schoology or SeeSaw as you are able would be a great start. Good place to have a video introduction.
Second Week (and beyond)
Guidance will be coming. Begin thinking about how to use our platforms, Schoology and SeeSaw, to engage with students. Screencast videos (with your face in them!), interactive learning activities, etc. Also be thinking, what support or training could I use? You are NOT expected to conduct an online class. We can use these tools to help our students have some structure during this time while keeping them sharp.
The Support
It is anticipated that there will be additional support and training that you will identify as we move forward. Do not hesitate to send suggestions. We will also be providing screencasts and links in a Online Learning Resource folder in the Curriculum and Instruction Schoology group.
(if you have not yet joined, please use access code 34ZR5-3W77Z). Anticipated time of Wednesday by noon for curation of Resource folder.
