KISJ HS Virtual School Daily Checklist
KISJ HS Virtual School Daily Checklist
The KISJ Virtual School daily checklist was developed as an informational and organizational tool for students. Parents can also use this as a guide to support and ensure students virtual learning success. Take a moment to review each item with your child on a weekly basis to reinforce learning expectations and support their emotional well-being.
Learning Tools. These are the materials that students will need to successfully participate in the virtual school learning environment. Their macbook and charger, google suite, a clean work space with all of their school materials (notebooks, pencils/pens, art supplies, etc.)
Teacher Communication. Teachers will be available to students from 8:00AM to 4:00PM, Monday through Friday. Students should follow their regular school schedule. Teachers will hold classes during their regularly scheduled class times.
Good Habits. Students should check their KISJ G-mail and Google Classrooms everyday. Complete all tasks assigned within their given time frame. Ask questions and seek clarification when needed. Be respectful, responsible, and kind online. Follow the KISJ Responsible Use of Technology Policy. Practice academic honesty by doing their own work. Take daily lunch and transitional breaks to rest their eyes and rejuvenate their bodies.
Feeling Stressed. Virtual school can be overwhelming. If students are feeling stressed about school or life encourage them to reach out to their Teachers, Counselors, Advisors, or Parents/Guardians.
A Note on KISJ Pedagogy
A Note on KISJ Pedagogy
I want to take a moment to explain teaching and learning at KISJ. We follow what is commonly known as a constructivist viewpoint of learning. Meaning, students are able to understand topics at a deeper level, make more broad connections to previous lessons, and transfer information to new topics, when they build their own understandings.
Constructivist learning does not look like traditional schooling where a teacher talks, students take notes, teacher talks...etc. Constructivist learning happens, for example, when students are exploring topics independently through problem based learning. In problem based learning, students try and solve problems through inquiry, asking questions that may lead to the discovery of a solution. If the inquiry doesn’t lead to a solution, they’ll need to try again. Trial and error.
What this looks like from the outside, is that the teacher is not teaching as students are working independently . However, setting up problems for students to learn in a constructivist manner takes a deep understanding of the topic in order to lead students through the process of inquiry. It also takes time to answer student questions throughout the trial and error period until each student arrives at their self-made solution.
Constructivist learning can be done collaboratively, and that is usually how we do it in school. For virtual school, though, teachers have worked hard to redesign tasks so that students are able to complete problem based, inquiry-driven learning on their own.
