Asynchronous Instruction
Asynchronous Instruction
Daily student participation in the learning activities assigned by you teacher is REQUIRED to be completed each day.
Students will remain at home and will engage in learning activities
Asynchronous Instruction does not require having the instructor and student engaged at the same time. In this method, students learn from instruction that is not necessarily being delivered in-person or in real time. This type of instruction may include various forms of digital and online learning, such as prerecorded video lessons or game-based learning tasks that students complete on their own, and pre-assigned work and formative assessments made available to students on paper. The instructional method must address the required curriculum, per TEC, §28.002.
A care-giver will need to be available to support younger students in navigating the daily schedule and providing assistance with the learning as needed.
Asynchronous Instruction will be designed for mastery of student learning outcomes based on the academic standards called the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for each content area.
Expectations for coursework and guidelines for grading for Face-to-Face Learning and Asynchronous Learning will be the same.
