[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP mentions this. As I understand it, hybrid (doing virtual 2 days and in person 2 days) is off the table.

Is that true?[/quote]

Don't know if it's off the table everywhere, but my kids' elementary school principal told us that the plans they were working on were 4 days a week in-person (with direct instruction for younger grades and "supervised virtual learning" for the older grades - I'm the OP of this thread). Wednesdays would be distant for everyone.[/quote]

We are hearing two days in person with two groups.  [/quote]

[b]So...what would happen the other 2 days? [/b]Forgive me if I'm being dense, but would it look like this, hypothetically?

Monday: DL at home, Group A at home, Group B in school

Tuesday: DL at home, Group A at school, Group B at home

Wednesday: Everyone at home

etc

Would the full-time DL kids remain in the same class as the kids coming in part-time?

Would the Groups still get 5 days/week of instruction (knowing that Wednesdays are weird)? [/quote]

And that's the tricky bit.  It will look different for each school depending on how many students selected in-person return.  This is why the concurrent model is being suggested, otherwise the number of staff needed would be insane.[/quote]

Except that one thing I was hearing was that if you do the concurrent model you have to use two staff members in each classroom because you have one teacher dedicated primarily to the online students and one teacher primarily dedicated to the in person students so that you don't have a situation where one group is being ignored. [/quote]

You think mcps will hire twice as many teachers....[/quote]

The other person wouldn't necessarily be a licensed teacher.  Use paras, [b]reassign specials teacher[/b]s, and fill in gaps with long-term subs.[/quote]

yup no one gets art for the rest of year! Music is cancelled![/quote]
