[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m in MCPS.

I taught online six years ago, but it was a) adults and b) asynchronous. I was not prepared to teach 160 middle schoolers online synchronously. I had never done Zoom before late March. I have a teaching style that didn’t easily translate to posting two assignments on Monday and then trying to instruct. I wish my school had the independent work day on Friday.

I took a few webinars on my own during the two week emergency period and then I took the MCPS trainings, but they mainly focused on MyMCPS. My dept decided we would not use MyMCPS because our students were already used to Google Classroom. It didn’t matter too much because the main course I teach didn’t get push outs from central office.

Parents and students who came seemed happy with what we’re able to do. I did have one deranged mom, but she was deranged all year with everyone. I feel confident that I can do an even better job via Zoom this year, though I would prefer to be five days face to face if it was safe.

Since school ended, I’ve completed about 2/3 of the MyMCPS trainings. I also took a one week course on at a university and am taking a second one that last four weeks. Both are about blended learning. I don’t feel very confident yet about blended learning because I don’t see how anyone can teach simultaneously in person and online. I need a lot more info about how that can be done effectively and equitably. No one in MCPS wants to answer that. [/quote]

But under the blended option, would you have to teach both online and in person? I thought some teachers would be teaching online, and others in person, but no one would do both. Am I wrong? -Parent[/quote]
