Better use of office hours/live instruction.  It also seemed hard to keep students engaged consistently, and to modify work for students that need extra supports.

Live Class Expectations - I'm hopeful that we get clear directives from the district regarding classroom times being mandatory. With that said, I saw my caseload students most successful when they were able to do much of the classwork & collaborate with peers during that time.

Things being "optional" or worded that way from the start, made it very difficult in terms of work completion and an online presence from kids. It kind of created a continuous cycle of reaching out to families, resetting expectations or helping with access, and then being in that same spot a week later.

I saw kids being more successful when they had choices laid out for them that highlighted different modalities. This combined with clear rubrics with kid-friendly language will allow for more of that asynchronous work to happen outside of the live sessions.

A chance for kids to really acknowledge how their 6th grade year ended, how it made them feel, and what things they feel like they missed out on might be important so that kids have an outlet and can move forward.

Collaborative time with GE teachers to review IEP's at a glance, accommodations, etc. will be different this year with distance learning but still important to put in place so we all know how our shared students learn best.

Not getting assignments early enough to modify

# data[].attributes.body
Waiting on teachers to post their assignments so that they could be modified before students were assigned them was a huge challenge. Some students had trouble deciphering what they were expected to complete, because they had access to the gen. ed. work and to the modified work. Students who were solely working on IEP goal work were also receiving notifications about missing work, assignments that didn't apply to them, etc., which is very confusing for parents.

Students will really need to feel like they belong in order to engage, and many will need time to get to know their peers in their new classes, as well as their new teachers and their class expectations

I want to heavily invest in communicating with parents at the beginning of the year. I want to learn what I can do to support their individual student and their family. How can I tailor curriculum for them to most easily access?
