Gymnasium Division Distance Learning Plan
Gymnasium Division Distance Learning Plan
Scenario 1 - School Closure
Scenario 1 - School Closure
In the event that school is closed for a limited period of time, the first day of closure will be allocated to teachers to prepare for online learning.
"Online light" where students do some initial online testing of systems, and possibly a small assignment to ensure that all systems are properly working. This will commence on the second day. The full plan outlined below will start on the third day.
Students are asked to:
Follow their regular school schedule (0830 to 1530), engage actively and “attend” the online learning activities at the right time. Every subject will “meet” as scheduled.
Show teachers that they are engaged by adding to discussion threads and submitting completed tasks (meeting deadlines).
Collaborate with students online as asked and with teachers during and after the lessons where possible.
Complete readings and other homework that may be assigned.
Submit all learning on time.
For extended periods of online learning (typically, going into a second week and beyond), teaching should be planned on independent work that can be submitted, with clear deadlines, with teacher office hours for checking in, responding to questions and giving feedback at specific times. Recommended to have an AM and PM session, clearly communicated to the students. This is assuming everyone is in the same country, for other types of scenarios, we will have to adjust as appropriate
Scenario 2 - Hybrid Scenario
Scenario 2 - Hybrid Scenario
In this scenario, school remains open, and the majority of students and faculty can be present to attend classes. Some students are not able to attend courses for a period of 3 or more days.
Family notifies the school that the student is unable to attend school and the potential return date.
Teachers will add all assignments and materials to Google Classroom.
Teachers will provide assignments, activities and tasks for the student. When appropriate, students will be assigned collaborative learning activities that can be completed asynchronously. Students may also be asked to join a class via Google Hangouts. They may also be assigned to individual projects.
Student roles and responsibilities and time expectations are the same as for Scenario 1.
Additional Points:
As we don’t encourage students to engage in too much continuous screen time, lessons and videos will be kept to short clips, rather than 45-minute screen time.
Learning experiences are designed to be completed independently or in collaboration with other students. Tutoring is not recommended, nor should a parent/guardian be over-involved.
Students are encouraged to be proactive in reaching out to teachers when they have questions or assignments are unclear.
Our Counselor is always available to support students with academic, social, or emotional needs.
