Is my calculation right? - CES class

Anonymous
DD is in one of the two CES classes, at the normal time, the math/ELA teachers will teach the same lesson twice- for both CES classes, but with the possible 2021 plan: half students go to the classroom at a time and with some students may choose 100% DL, then the teachers need to teach 5 times?

Or there might be some inter-school CES class merger?

Or the students with different shifts/DL only may got different teachers even though they assignment to the same homeroom.

For math, there will always be home school kids doing compacted math as well, so that complicates the dynamic a little.

Otherwise, I don't know.

DL can be taught by the same teacher who is also teaching a reduced sized in person class.

So the workload of the lecture part will be at least 2.5 times- 2 times vs. 5 times

Stop. Teacher workloads are NOT going to be 2x or 5x. Sorry, teachers, that fall DL won't be like spring when you worked 1 hour a day max. You will have to put in an 8 hour day like the rest of the professional world.

Umm...if teachers are teaching in a regular classroom how do expect them to teaching online at the same time?

Sweet! An 8 hour day would be heaven compared to the 10-12 hour days I normally put in teaching. Can I get it put in my contract that I am paid overtime if it takes more than 40 hours a week?

I do it at my office. 20 class participants are in the room with me. 10 others are participating from other locations. I share my computer screen the people who are not in the room. They can hear me I can hear them. I teach everyone.

Wait, wait, wait. You normally have 6.5 hour work days. Usually minimum 2 periods of that day are paid lunch and a free period. So even after that, you need to work an additional 4-6 hours to do what exactly? Grading and lesson plans do not take a human 4-6 hours ever.single.day.

Like every college professor in colleges do. Videotape their classes.

I hope it works as smoothly for teachers...but doubtful.

I don't think this matters since F2F school will get shut down after a couple of weeks of surging infections.

Hearing, sure.

How can you monitor engagement and behavior both places? I ask because teachers will be expected to do so.

Sometimes you are looking at your physical class and sometimes you are looking at people on the screen. Though I teach adults I still have to deal with engagement issues...less so behavior.
