Asynchronous Monday’s Proposal Plan (Will continue at the NOvember 12 meeting
Ms. Joyce Baldino reads the proposal put forth by teachers
We would like to offer the students an opportunity to use some of their class time to complete assignments, catch up on group work, work on projects, inquire with teachers and study with the help of their teacher in each period by eliminating the live instruction on Mondays, only, in both the remote and in-person modalities.
All in-person students would continue to come to school.
They will be taught by their scheduled in-person teacher.
In-person teachers would not provide in-person live instruction on asynchronous Mondays.
Those teachers will provide support with work assigned in Google Classroom, provide one-on one feedback to struggling students while following social distancing guidelines, provide additional assignments to reinforce previously taught skills, one on one support for students at-risk, in need or who desire teacher support, students could use the time to complete group work through Google classroom, students could also work with peers in class, using social distancing protocols to complete group work.
Remote teachers would also be providing the same support remotely.
Teachers and students would maintain their current programs.
Benefits
1. It allows teachers to target at-risk students who otherwise might fall through the cracks.
2. Gives students time to catch up on missing and incomplete assignments.
3. Allows teachers to provide extra help for struggling students through one on one support.
4. Provides additional time for students to complete group work.
5. Allows for personalized attention from their teacher with regards to their assignments.
