[quote=Anonymous]DCPS middle and high schools.  Using Microsoft 365 Teams as the main communication platform.  Also using Canvas.  I have been nearing for several years that Office 365 is the official platform for DCPS because of its security and that teachers were to stop using Google classroom.  We are now on about week 3 or 4 of learning at home.  (I’ve lost track.)  First week was a little rocky but once they got going it has seems pretty smooth.  I know that they have had to move mountains to get hardware to many students and that not every DCPS school is in the same place, but all in all I think the district is doing a good job.  There are lots of limitations to learning at home so I expect my kids are learning a lot less than they would be in the classroom (especially in MS which seems to have less instruction overall) but overall DCPS seems to have been relatively well prepared from an infrastructure perspective.

I do think there is a significant range of level of comfort by DCPS teachers with using online platforms. Even though the software platforms are in place and available, there is still a wide range in individual teachers’ abilities to deploy it.  It is a pretty big ask for teachers to pivot from in person classroom instruction to online instruction and I do believe that all of my kids teachers have been working really hard at this.  [/quote]
