Would you mind saying which school? |

That doesn’t make much sense, given the high case rate. It could be months until the hybrid option is feasible. Why split now? |
What is a concurrent model? New term to me. |
Kids in hybrid classroom see live teacher. Kids online see a camera in the classroom pointing at live teacher. Teacher interacts with online kids at desk and live kids from the chalkboard. |
The model that will be a horrific failure. Awesome. |
How will they do that? Don't they need to be seen by all students at all times? I heard the teacher will need to stay in the same place at all times, in front of the camera. This image might be projected on the Smartboard for kids in the room, but if the teacher steps away from the camera to be at the board, they will be out of the view of the DL kids. And, they will be wearing masks, so the DL kids won't be able to see their faces. |
Yes. Teacher must teach through the computer to all students, live and DL. She cannot stand at white board. Cameras have not been installed in classrooms to do that and be visible and audible to the DL kids and hybrids at home. It is going to be DL at your desk for hybrid 6-12. And apparently now 3-5. |
My understanding is that there will still be separate DL classes. The concurrent will only be hybrid kids, half will be there TW, the others ThF on an alphabetical split. On the days they aren’t in class they dial in. |
Wish that were the case for middle school! |
Concurrent by definition means a teacher is teaching both groups at once - distance and in person. If they are using the word concurrent, that’s what it means. It translates to kids at school still doing DL for instruction. Hybrid would mean 2 days a week kids are at home doing independent work after morning meeting and 2 days a week they’re at school getting full in person learning. DL means of course full DL with no in person component. -teacher |
Clarification for APS ES parents: hybrid is 2 days in school, 2 days synchronous DL at home, and asynchronous Mondays. |
