Please remember that today is counted as an instructional day. Therefore students should be engaging in instructional activities commensurate to what they would do on a typical in-person school day.
That being said, expectations for instructional time will differ depending on an individual's teaching assignment (e.g. elementary/secondary, grade-level, general ed/special ed, etc.). Teachers will need to communicate the day's schedule to their students (and families for younger students) before the actual e-learning day.
PK lead instructors will be participating in a training facilitated by the special education coop from 8:00-10:00.
Special education PK teachers will use this time to connect with families regarding student progress, etc.
Assign work for students to complete.
Remember, this is counted as an instructional day.
Ideally, all work assigned to students should be completed and turned in by the end of the day, but due to internet availability, time may need to be provided on Sept. 28 for students to view and complete the work.
Ensure students can locate and submit assignments.
Set up a Meet to ensure that all students know how to join a Meet. This can be the whole group or in small groups. During the Meet, teachers should:
Teach/Review virtual procedures (consider these).
Teach a brief lesson in ELA or Math (10 - 15 minutes is fine).
Record the Meet and share it with students (Some students may need to access the recording at a later time due to internet availability.).

Special area teachers will review work submitted by students and provide feedback.
Special area teachers will plan future learning activities for students - especially focusing on activities that can be done virtually.
