How it Works
Syncronous Learning
Students attend live class time and collaborate with their teacher and peers.
Typically, each student shall receive a daily lesson in reading, writing, math, social emotional learning (SEL) and English Language Development (for English Language Learners). Students will receive at least once per week, a lesson in Science and Social Studies.
Each student should participate in at least one small group in reading, writing and math per week.
All English learners are required to participate in daily designated ELD. Integrated ELD shall also be included in daily instruction.
Asynchronous Learning
Students will also participate in asynchronous learning activities to support learning.
Pre-recorded lessons
Self guided instructional lessons/activities/modules
Discussion forums, online collaboration/chats that do not happen live
Independent
Students will be assigned independent work that supports mastery of grade level standards and provides opportunities to practice the content and instruction of synchronous and asynchronous learning.
Independent work on district supported digital content platforms (i.e. ST Math, Dreambox, Imagine Learning, etc.)
Independent reading and writing
Independent Practice
Completion of projects
Choice or Menu Boards
Parent Responsibility
Students will need your assistance initially with how to get connected and navigating through their apps.
To assist daily:
Please make sure their device gets charged nightly.
They have a designated work space with school materials close by to use during class.
They are dressed and ready for class to begin at 8:30 a.m.
Educator Responsibility
Students will receive synchronous learning (live interaction) on a daily basis with their teacher. Minimum number of live minutes per day varies per grade level.
Direct instruction to students through video conferencing
Whole or small-group instruction
1:1 Conferring, instruction, assessment
Teacher guided peer-to-peer learning and interaction
Class Meetings/Restorative Circles
Instructional Day for the Students (2020-21)
Transitional Kindergarten and Kindergarten a minimum of 180 minutes.
Grades 1st - 3rd a minimum of 230 minutes
Grades 4th - 6th a minimum of 240 minutes
The majority of daily instructional minutes (not less than 55-60%) will be delivered synchronously in combination of whole class and small group instruction. While every student will receive daily synchronous instruction, every student may not receive the same amount each day. Students will receive daily lessons in reading, writing, mathematics, social emotional learning (SEL) and English Language Development (for English Language Learners); and Science and Social Studies lesson at least once per week.
