Harnessing any possible opportunities to learn outside, especially as we move into spring. Can we get tents with chairs/desks outside?

These kids have dealt with so many in the past year. And likely will have many more in the next year (i.e. bumped back to remote because of rising metrics)

We will need a significant amount of space that I'm not sure we have available to us, in order to maintain safety.

It is really hard to have true/reciprocal relationships with kids. I think we are doing fantastic work in this area and I still think it is really lacking.

1.) Students struggling to follow guidelines (masks in particular), sometimes due to social/emotional disability or processing related to expressive/receptive language.
2.) Fans and filters are incredibly loud, difficult to hear kids and for kids to hear us especially with masks already muffling.
3.) Doing remote and in-person at the same time.
4.) The need for constant redirection and critical feedback (for safety reasons) around masks may be damaging, especially to already vulnerable populations.

Difficult to measure how students are doing or how engaged they are, especially when video is off.

Right now, I still think we need to help our neediest students who online school is not an equitable option

We will have a cohort of kids at home throughout the spring. I worry that we will focus on coming back and leave the remote-only kids to secondary thinking.

# data[].attributes.body
It is very hard to know why students don't attend a virtual class. Are they caring for a younger sibling/cousin? Are they just "Zoomed" out? Are there other issues at home that we are not aware of which is interrupting their academic setting?

Will a hybrid model given current Covid conditions even be better than remote?

Or will it be so compromised by the needed restrictions that it cancels out the joy and benefit of being back together?

I worry that the logistics will overwhelm the potential upsides. The stress of doing this for 25 kids was really high. Doing it for 150 may be too much!

Planning for both in person and remote learners

# data[].attributes.body
I personally think it should be done in stages. Scholars who are on IEPS and who receive small group interventions should come in first in learning pods. General education teachers could still teach remotely but their small group interventions could happen in person. Scholars would also have support during their asynchronous work time periods.

What will class look like if we're in masks and distanced... and I'm expected to get middle schoolers to follow these guidelines?

I am hoping for just at least once a week being able to connect in person with every student. To build relationships and not allow anyone to fall through the cracks

# data[].attributes.body
We're just not. We're doing remote not because we want to, but because it's the only way we can guarantee safety under the world's current situation. If we start planning for September now, I think we'll be able to successfully plan for hybrid and in-person expansion. Especially more time for people to get the vaccine.

# data[].attributes.body
The load for teachers to plan remote, engaging learning experiences is very time consuming. If there is a hybrid model, I wonder how teachers will balance the load of work - without getting burned out.

# data[].attributes.body
I miss seeing kids in a more typical setting--running in the halls, being too loud at lunch, being silly--even from a 6 feet distance, I think having kids back and being closer to what a typical day looks like is really exciting. Also, having teachers connect with each other casually (and not always about work) is a real plus.

# data[].attributes.body
I miss being able to casually chat with students as they pass by. On zoom, every interaction because a formally produced affair, and there's so much relationship value in those 30-sec conversations that happen on the way back from lunch, passing between classes, etc

I am worried we aren't going to get the scholars in person who would benefit from being in person.

Is there enough space, staff, etc to support in person learning?

Will scholars be doing surveillance testing?

Trying to prioritize SEL while also teaching content is HARD. We are moving much slower through ideas than we would be if we were in school.

In our own school, it's a very old building, where not all the windows open. It was supposed to be torn down last year. The idea of increasing from 21 students total to 150 students, doesn't seem safely possible. If we had a newer building, or more space that would be a different.

Currently to both ensure safety and keep our students and our teachers safe small class sizes are so important.

In-person (sub-separate)- Some students whose needs weren't met by remote learning are getting increased opportunity for connection and support.

Remote- Always impressed with our teachers and their ability to connect and create meaningful and engaging lessons that function in the remote environment. For some kids, we are seeing significant growth and that the remote learning environment is working better for them in some ways (less distraction, able to sleep later in the morning, feels less chaotic for some students with anxiety, less drama to navigate). Some students are growing skills in navigating technology, independence, executive functioning.
