[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is not meant to bash anyone, but I am curious what the specials teachers are doing? I'm referring to PE, Art and Music teachers. I can't imagine that they are able to do any teaching right now so I'm wondering how they are being utilized. Since they are certified teachers, I'm guessing that they can be providing additional support to classroom teachers. I think that would be an effective way of giving students more small group instruction and support.[/quote]

I have one friend who is a MS music teacher.  She sent out a note to her students and she was conducting individual zoom tutoring for her instrument students on an as scheduled basis.  She had about a dozen or so students who took her up on it and she was tutoring them for about 1 hour a week.  And still trying to take care of her family of four.  The music teacher in our ES school had a special program going on for a week before the hiatus.  Every grade was involved.  She took a lot of photos and the first two weeks, she was organizing photos and uploading them to the school web-site and sending out messages to her students.  She spent a lot of time as there are over 600 students in the school and all participated in the program.  The art teacher in our ES school sent out a note with a list of optional home art projects to help keep kids occupied.  These are just the ones that I know personally.  [/quote]

The specials teachers at my school have to teach virtually, just like everyone else.  They're going to be holding zoom meetings with some grade levels, or recording lessons for others on activities the kids can do at home.  [/quote]
