[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh, Op here. Please. Thank you to a pp who tried to suggest something. Please, tell me what dL day should look like in teachers’ thoughts. How will it be structured? How will homework be graded?  What can parents do to help either their own kids or kids in their class?

I’d prefer to teach the regular bell schedule all week. That would mean 5 instructional zooms a day for me, 25 a week rather than the 2-3 a day, 10 a week my district picked. The people I hear complaining against more instructional time are mostly parents. My union has not advocated for less instructional time.

I would limit asynchronous work to the kind of preparatory homework I would have given in F2F. In my district, that’s a completion grade and it all adds up to only 10%.

Honestly, with the 4 day block schedule, I think parents are going to have much more work reminding kids which class to log into and what is due when. Post the schedule someplace highly visible and refer to it each AM at breakfast so that no one is mistaken about the day’s schedule. If Larlo thinks he has PDs 1-4, but really it’s PDs 5-8, he’ll get the day off to a rough start with the first Zoom he attempts.

As for the other kids in your child’s classes, I don’t know how you can help them other than if you see they lack learning materials at home and want to make an anonymous donation. If there’s a behavior issue, discreetly let the teacher know that you’ll support progressive discipline. [/quote]
