[quote=Anonymous]Since the question of the post is for HIGH SCHOOL - here's my thoughts as a HS teacher.

We go to a more college-like schedule. Right now all DCPS HS use an A/B schedule of some sort. So a pre-covid 2 week cycle would look like this:

M- A
T- B
W-A
T-B
F-A

M-B
T- A
W- B
T- A
F- B

We could easily split kids into two cohorts - 1 and 2. Cohort 1 could be in school, while Cohort 2 is at home doing online assignments, projects, whatever makes sense for the class. So a 2 week cycle would look like this:

M- A1 (Cohort 2 on DL)
T- B1 (Cohort 2 on DL)
W-A2 (Cohort 1 on DL)
T-B2 (Cohort 1 on DL)
F-A1

M-B1
T- A2
W- B2
T- A1
F- B1

This would let students take the same classes they would otherwise, let teachers teach the same classes they would otherwise, but automatically cut class sizes about in half. Teachers wouldn't have to do all that much more planning - it would definitely take an adjustment period, but I think it's completely doable if announced early enough in advance. Then if infections drop, all students can come to school with little in the way of schedule changes. We could switch between all students in school and the half/half cohort model with ease if there are smaller infection spikes throughout the school year.

That's my $0.02.[/quote]
