As students face quarantine or homebound situations you will be asked to provide Asynchronous learning.

We define asynchronous learning as video recorded direct teaching of all core instruction and then posted to Google Classroom for asynchronous student viewing. As well as assigning missed assignments in Google Classroom.

For K-4 students this includes

Reading:

Record and post Reading Mini Lesson

Record and post-Word Study/Phonics Mini Lesson

Record and post-Writing Mini Lesson

*Assign the guided reading book in Benchmark. (Grades 2-4 can include some of the written response questions that are included in the lesson plan if they choose.)

*Include this once you've started guided reading with your class.

Math:

Record and post Math Conceptual Lesson

Record and post DMR/Mental Math

Record and post Math Fact Lesson if appropriate

For 5-12 students this includes

Any new core content covered in class

This does not have to include discussion or video of classwork.

To record yourself and or your lesson we encourage the use of either

Google Meets Recording

or

Loom Screen Recording

Here are a few important links that will help you with ASL:

Google Hangouts/Meets

Google Classroom

Board policy to keep in mind:

• • Staff members are encouraged to use NAFC electronic platforms when communicating with students (i.e. email, “Google Suite for Education”, or other approved platforms) when communication is directly related to curricular matters or co‑curricular/extra-curricular events or activities with prior approval of the principal.

  • When communicating from a personal platform/device, one-on-one electronic personal communication is prohibited between a student and a staff member. Mass communication is the method to be used when communicating with students from a personal platform/device. Mass communication is defined as a group message. Another adult (e.g. parent, teacher, assistant coach, athletic Director) must be included in all electronic communication with students.

  • Staff members are prohibited from electronically transmitting any personally identifiable image of a student(s), including video, photographs, streaming video, etc. via email, text message, or through the use of social media and/or online networking media, such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, Skype, blogs, etc., unless such transmission has been made as part of a pre-approved curricular matter or co‑curricular/extra-curricular event or activity such as a school‑sponsored publication or production.
