Guiding Principles Spring 2020
Guiding Principles Spring 2020
In conjunction with the district's core values, these guidelines from MA DESE will focus our work moving forward:
"The safety and well-being of students, families, and staff has been and must continue to be our top priority as an educational community.
Maintaining connections between school staff and students is paramount.
Nothing can replace the in-person schooling experience, and we should not expect that remote learning can replicate the traditional school day.
Remote learning can encompass a wide variety of learning opportunities. While technology can be a supportive tool, districts and schools should also consider ways that student learning can continue offline. This could include exploring the natural world, activities to support students’ local communities (with appropriate social distancing), and engaging, hands-on projects and artistic creations that stem from students’ own passions and experiences.
Examples of remote learning tools include large-group video or audio conference calls, 1:1 phone or video calls, email, work packets, projects, reading lists, online learning platforms, and other resources to effectively engage with students.
We recommend the following routine and structure for remote learning, recognizing the need for flexibility for individual districts and individual students within them:
Opportunity to connect with one or more educators multiple times per week.
Access to multiple hours per day [50% of traditional day] of academic content directed by educators, which should focus on reinforcing skills already taught this school year and applying and deepening those skills.
Time each day for physical activity based on recommendations from educators.
Additional daily time for enrichment activities such as the arts."
