What Will Remote Learning Look Like?

● How will students access instruction/curriculum? Students will access curriculum via Schoology; will have live, whole group and small-group instruction. District will work with teachers to provide a balance of synchronous (live) and asynchronous instruction. Synchronous instruction will be recorded.

● Will students have daily access to teachers? Yes, teachers will be conducting live instruction every day & will be able to respond to students. Teachers will focus on technology needed with the students starting on day 1; Lessons developed to teach the tools.

What Will Remote Learning Look Like?

● What happens if students need help with work? Teachers will schedule small groups/individual support time or support service staff will schedule a time (e.g. reading specialists, ELD teacher, Learning support teacher, etc.) with students.

● Will students be in front of a screen all day? No. The day will include a combination of on-screen instruction and off-screen activity. Breaks will be built into the school day for screen-free time.
