[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not OP but also a teacher and have a follow up question- what does ideal communication from teachers look like for you during DL? In the Spring
 I had a lot of families who were overwhelmed with the amount of texts/emails, especially if they had multiple kids at the secondary level. On the other hand, I consistently hear from parents that they want to know details of what their kids are working on so they can better support them. Not sure how to accommodate both...

From my experience it was that the content wasn’t well organized at all. We had packets sent home, but portions of the packets were completely optional, but the only way to know that was to login to teams and check the assignments, but the assignments weren’t under assignments they were under files, but only the ones for the main class, for specials it was under its own separate folder, but some folders were only for certain classes or students. On top of that some of the assignments were in iready, others were in khan, then some only on paper, some on other apps. It was absolutely infuriatingly painful to decrypt what was due when and how to get to each thing, etc. I also got emails about stuff that didn’t really matter - long winded emails about supporting the community and all sorts of other stuff, including to monitor the team chat, etc.

What did I want? One email, every week, with just a few things outlined. Topics for each day, Whats mandatory, Whats optional, and links to each thing.

That would have been enormously clearer. [/quote]
