[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another DCPS teacher who has heard nothing. I get all my updates from the same sources parents do—news leaks and chancellor emails.

I swear that during PD week they said that [b]distance learning days were asynchronous with no live teaching[/b]. Which would be the only way it would make sense for me to teach some kids in the classroom and also be the teacher for the DL days. How that would work for someone on total DL I have no idea. I think in the press conference and town halls they said it would be live on DL days, but I almost think they are saying that to appease parents and it won’t really happen. Unless they plan to build an hour into our day without kids in person to host a video lesson? [/quote]

So middle and high school hybrid kids will be teaching themselves 3 days out of 4?  And the distance learning-only kids will be teaching themselves 4 days out of 4?
This is going to work really well with Algebra, Calculus, AP classes, etc.   :roll: [/quote]

I’m with you! I know they have boasted that they digitized the curriculum, and I think that’s the reason for the push to Canvas. All the course content is on the website—prerecorded instructional videos, readings, activities, etc. Students can complete work on Canvas at home or in the classroom so in theory it would be pretty seamless. In class teachers go over content for the week in a day or two (depending on age) and then kids work independently to do assignments but can get online feedback from staff while at home.

It’s not perfect, but it’s a big step up from just packets (in theory of course). What I don’t know is if I have a full day of class when I’m going to check in on kids online and grade/give feedback. Wednesday only?[/quote]
