LEARNING MODES

After the pandemic, FEU Roosevelt Cainta has offline classes and online classes, but most use offline classes with face-to-face meetings. Elementary school students study in their classes and school hours are from 07.30 to 14.00, but this depends on each individual's schedule. Online classes are held if there is a situation that requires schools to be closed, for example if there is a natural disaster such as a flood or volcano. This school has a learning management system called Canvas, where teachers can place their learning media there and students can access it to study and submit assignments.

Learning modes during the pandemic : 

1. Remote Learning with Internet (RLI)

The Flipped Classroom mode will be used wheret the teacher sends lessons, assignments, and formative and summative activities to student all trough Canvas. Students will also have activities assigned by teachers whitin other apps such as :

• eBooks, 

• RedBird Math (for elementary), 

• ALEKS Math (for junior high school), 

• McGraw-Hill Connect (for SHS and College), 

• Scholastic Prime English Program (PEP), 

• MindTap (Cengage), and 

• Rex Online Books.

During online classes and consultation periods,students discuss with teachers concerns regarding assigned tasks and other relates matters. Consultation periods and synchronous sessions can also be done trough Microsoft Teams.

Microsoft 365 applications may also be used to create work, projects, and assignments. 

The submission of formative and summative assessment task is scheduled in advance, and the students will submit it thru Canvas. Students also have consultation hour with their teachers in designated times.

2. Remote Learning without Internet (RLWI)

This is a drive-trough mode where the parents will drive by the school to get the print or digital copies of learning materials every week. The parents will drive by the school to submit requirements as scheduled. These learning materials and pre-recorded lectures will be saved in a USB flash drive or a device.

Exercices can also be done in the printed workbooks provided. These printed workbooks can be purchased through the bookstore.

The structure used in this learning mode is asynchronous but with regular daily check-in trough SMS.

Microsoft 365 aplications may be used offline so that students can work, projects, and assignments. some Microsoft 365 applications would be Word for word processing, Exel fortables and charts, Powerpoint  for slide presentations and Teams for consultations, oral reports, chats, and private message. Teachers are also available for consultation via SMS or Facebook Messenger, whenever possible and based on their class schedule. The submissions of the students are made weekly or bimonthly and these submission are to be dropped off on campus.

3. Blended Learning with In-School Attendance (BLISA)

This mode of learning is 40% face-to-face (F2F) in-school sessions and 60% self-directed learning (SDL) as soon as the Department of Education or the Local Government Units will allow face-to-face classes. 

Only 50% of students (maximum of 20 students) go to school in a day thusensuring the practice of social distancing. A student will be placed to either Group A or B of his section and is scheduled to attend F2F classes four (4) half days in alternate weeks, for example, Monday to Thursday during Week 1 and 3 every school month. During his days off in school (Friday and the following week), he is on self-directed learning time (SLDT) at home to work on projects and activities.

This mode covers 3 to 5 subjects per quarter to semester including those with laboratory. The reduced number of subjects aims to improve student's focus and mastery of the content and skills with longer time for each subject. At the end of a quarter or semester, the student should have covered the required number of hours and learning competencies of the subject needed for entire school year. 

For all learning modes, access to Microsoft Teams and Microsoft 365 applications (trough a Microsoft 365 A3 subscription) and access to Canvas, the online learning management system of FEU Roosevelt, will be both provided by the school.
