NP and we've made seating arrangements to facilitate contact tracing, but there has been no conversation about what will happen if/when students are out for a long time or classes get pushed virtual. We luckily have lots of mitigation strategies in place (mandated masking and distancing). But it feels like "well, let's see what happens with Delta because all this worked well last year." [/quote]

School districts vary so much both in resources and in their ability to pivot. I teach in a large aircraft carrier type district (slow to course correct). I also teach a course that is only taught to highly gifted learners at my school and one other magnet in the district. No one is giving us either premade asynchronous materials or time off to make them. I can’t just go online to download whatever worksheet that I can link to a video. [/quote]

DP.  You should be using, either in whole or in part, what you used last year during DL or hybrid/concurrent.  You should not be starting from scratch each time.  Just sayin'.  If I were your evaluator and you told me you were planning on starting from scratch every time this year then I would be doing a serious reevaluation of whether you were in the right assignment.[/quote]

I don’t know about for ES, but for secondary, we had two hours of synchronous and 30 min of asynchronous each week. That is starting at least 50% from scratch. Also my course is brand new curriculum this year. The first two units were released in July/early August, which tells me that I am expected to learn that on my unpaid time. [/quote]
