[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Addressing the original question:

The amount of information that teachers are getting depends on their school.  At my high school, teachers have received no specific information.  We do know that our leadership team is working hard on very complex issues.  Every teacher I work with has similar questions about the return to school, but mostly about HOW it would work.

If I have 9 students in my first period class who have elected to come back to school and 21 students who are in my first period at home - how am I teaching first period?  Am I running a Zoom with my 21 at-home students at the same time I'm teaching the 9 students in class?  Would I basically have to have the 9 in-school students on Chromebooks, so that the whole class is doing the same thing at the same time?  (And if we're all on Chromebooks, what was the point of coming back to school?)

If my second period has 18 students in-school and 13 students at-home, I can't fit anywhere close to 18 students in my room with social distancing.  If they split my 18 in-school students up, who's teaching the students they remove from my class when I'm the ONLY teacher of the course in my building?  So now we have 9 students with me, 9 students sitting somewhere else in the building, and 13 students at home.  Are we all just on our Chromebooks like we are now?

Speculation among teachers is similar to speculation on this forum, mainly because no one knows or has communicated the nuts and bolts on how this is going to work.[/quote]

I have a child in ES. We were told that both in person and DL students will all be on their chromebooks regardless of the model adopted.  Your second period sounds exactly like the type of situation they are hiring monitors for. So you’d be in one room with half of the in person students and the monitor would be with the other half.
