Is it possible for the District to purchase subscriptions for Nearpod, Padlet, and Flipgrid for teachers?

I still don't understand how the blended learning/station rotation model fits into the lesson plan as outlined in the PLC planning document. Are we just saying that students using computers is blended learning?

In blended learning, does the teacher have to deliver the instruction? In other words, can a video or lesson supported device activity be considered teacher instruction?

In our content session today, teachers were told that gradual release may occur over the course of several days (which experienced teachers knew). HOWEVER, when visitors from the Board drop in to observe, our school is knocked because the observers did not observe GRR during the TEN MINUTES they were in our room, This gives the impression that the different departments at the Board do not talk to each other.

The one high ELA example was an AP class during a block period (also, why is AP spending time doing creative writing?)

It was awesome to see the one High School example but it was in an AP English class. It would be great to see an example in underrepresented areas like MSCS with minimal resources and students in different learning levels. How are we expected to make this work with multiple students with IEPs and 504s? Where is the model for our actual student make up?

In the Blended Learning example of the AP English class the furniture was conducive to a relaxed classroom. How are we expected to create this awesome example with smaller classrooms and desk

It would be nice to have this set up in all schools to facilitate grouping.

We only saw one example of Blended Learning in a high school ELA classroom. It was an example from an AP English class in a school that looked nothing like the schools we work in. Is this model compatible with our under-resourced schools? (Melrose, Kingsbury, Craigmont, etc.)

How should we go about grouping students for Blended Learning lessons when some of my classes have 5 students and some have 30+?

We are always given elementary models. Are there no successful implementation models for high schools? I would like models. Expecting a high school teacher to use "elementary' strategies is not realistic. Our classes are structed very different from an elementary class.

Blended learning can be really powerful, but teachers need to also make sure that the culture, norms, and expectations of their school and classrooms are also ready for this system. How is the district planning to take this into consideration?

Isn't the same training we completed virtually in August?

Is there a way that the district can be creative to give teachers more time to implement this in their classrooms?

Elementary school classrooms have much more flexible time than high school classrooms.  Are there studies to support the effectiveness of station rotation (centers) in high school classrooms that are only 45 minutes long?

# data[].attributes.body
Will we have the 4th quarter at least one week before the break so we can plan with our PLCs prior to the break?

is engage2learn providing classroom resources to use in instruction or just providing training?

Are district curriculum developers thinking about how the English curriculum could include thematic units instead of just standards focused weekly plans?

# data[].attributes.body
Do we currently have the technology on the software and hardware side available to implement this strategy?

Is "Reimagining" by rebranding/naming the district really worth the money when schools are falling apart?

Regarding the time comment, I suggest block scheduling across all high schools. 90 minutes vs. 45 is amazing.

# data[].attributes.body
Pro's - more time per session = greater flexibility in chunking time & tasks

Con's - reduced TOTAL time spent with students during the year (90 minutes every other day = 25% loss of time, assuming an hour-long daily class is the other option); Also less FREQUENCY of contact with students (90 days v. 180 days), making it difficult to get to know students (important for college recs), build relationships (SEL AND content support)

How exactly will blended learning/station rotation fit in with the Educational Epiphany/direction instruction model?
