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.
