[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not OP but also a teacher and have a follow up question- [b]what does ideal communication from teachers look like for you during DL?[/b] 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...

Thank you for asking!! (All props to teachers. You guys are awesome.)

I have two communication challenges -- tracking new info, and then finding older info.

For stuff that is routine -- e.g., every week I know there will be math problems -- having stuff in a single web location is useful. Worksheets, schedules, instruction guide on how to use the zoom, that kind of thing.
For stuff that is new -- e.g. "This week there will be a parent conference on Tuesday, please sign up for a slot" -- an email with a link to the schedule for sign-up

BUT. I also get that you guys have training to teach kids, not to organize electronic communications! I think you need the resources of tech support staff to help with the online organization. It's extra work -- I do this for my own job, and it's not easy or without a time cost. I hope you get someone to help you with all of this. [/quote]
