[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rather than training (I'm a professor, I had to pivot too, and this is not rocket science), all districts need to hold teachers accountable: x hours synchronous each day, mandatory individual check-ins with students x times per week, less busywork, more content and rigor, one app.

Stop posting Instagram shots of your garden projects during work hours, etc.

I am a professor and was a HS teacher before this. My brother is a teacher for MCPS. It's totally different teaching kids (even high school) than college aged students. You have to be way, way more engaging with high schoolers, you have to assume far less independent work, and the resources are far more stretched.

My brother has a masters in educational technology and totally knocked it out of the park with the distance learning. I tried my best to keep up. He has gotten exactly zero guidance from his school on what he's supposed to be doing to prepare for Fall. Some of his colleagues don't even know which classes they're teaching. We're trying to prepare for Fall as best we can now and assuming we will be all online. [/quote]
