[quote=Anonymous]Distance learning is here to stay folks.  It’s not going away this summer, fall, or winter.  It’s just a matter of what percentage it will make up of the next school year.

Here is the bottom line folks.

Leadership and teachers at a school know their kids best.  If everyone (admin, teachers, parents) all have the same goal of working together in optimizing distance learning for their kids in this challenging environment, they will do well.  They will provide good content and curriculum.  School leadership should always be assessing what is going well and what is not with surveys, zoom meeting for parent inputs, etc.. They are also flexible to make changes quick if needed.

Schools that are not doing as well with distance learning, who realize and acknowledge that, will have time to step up their game and make changes and modifications for the needs of their families.

Schools that just don’t care or poorly run as a cohesive group of administrators, teachers, and parents will just continue to fail in DL.

The less bureaucracy and red tape the school/organization, the more successful and adaptive a school will be in rapidly making changes in this environment.  That is why some privates and charters are doing well with DL and got it up and going shortly after school closed down.

The more bureaucracy and larger the organization, the more effort and harder it will be to make fast changes and implementation.  This is how I see DCPS.  Too much decision making at the highest central level on top down basis and not at the local school leadership.  Too much mentality of 1 size fits all when some schools are as different as night and day.  It just won’t work or be effective.
