  • Allow a certain number of excused absences (no questions asked 5-10?) 
    “Family Activity”

If a kid doesn't check in online during the class period, do we have to keep going back to check if they've contacted, did work, emailed, chatted, etc. This was a STRUGGLE last spring. going back and forth checking on which kids did something later.

This does not solve all problems with tracking student activity, but it gives us another data point.

This would ideally be checked the next morning as Russ suggested.]]> 2020-08-05 16:11:12 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_stangler/8hw7jrdfehmrde1y/wish/670311089 Competency Based? paul_beckermann https://padlet.com/joseph_stangler/8hw7jrdfehmrde1y/wish/670314217 This extends Ryan's question about changing how we grade. Would competency based grading fit better for distance learning with performance based criteria which may be more accurate anyway.]]> 2020-08-05 16:13:47 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_stangler/8hw7jrdfehmrde1y/wish/670314217 Consider alternatives to A-F Scale ryan_johnson7 https://padlet.com/joseph_stangler/8hw7jrdfehmrde1y/wish/670314390 The 100 point scale gives students 64 ways to fail... I think we should be more creative in assessment and measuring learning rather than "point chasing".

In other words, if we use class time to catch kids up, they are missing the new information and falling even further behind. Is there a way to integrate the "gap work" into new projects and activities, so it doesn't feel like an add-on?]]> 2020-08-05 16:20:26 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_stangler/8hw7jrdfehmrde1y/wish/670322483 UDL paul_beckermann https://padlet.com/joseph_stangler/8hw7jrdfehmrde1y/wish/670327090 Should we be digging more into Universal Design for Learning to provide students with alternate ways to demonstrate their learning/understanding?]]> 2020-08-05 16:23:52 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_stangler/8hw7jrdfehmrde1y/wish/670327090 In Class Assessments https://padlet.com/joseph_stangler/8hw7jrdfehmrde1y/wish/670333078 If we are giving an assessment in class, can we give a digital form of the same assessment on that day to "B" students or with AB days do we need to give the in person assessment the next day to "B" students]]> 2020-08-05 16:28:07 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_stangler/8hw7jrdfehmrde1y/wish/670333078 Being Realistic with Planning paul_beckermann https://padlet.com/joseph_stangler/8hw7jrdfehmrde1y/wish/670333212 It will be important that teachers create lessons that work in all three formats. It is not realistic to create three lessons for each day. There are ways to do this, but teachers may need training/guidance and time to plan. It probably requires a shift to a facilitator/coach role.]]> 2020-08-05 16:28:13 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_stangler/8hw7jrdfehmrde1y/wish/670333212 Teachers returning to schools https://padlet.com/joseph_stangler/8hw7jrdfehmrde1y/wish/670333537 When can staff return to school?

Quarantine Period? Is that personal/sick time or move into workmans comp like the police have written? Expectations for subs and teachers to continue instruction?]]> 2020-08-05 16:29:37 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_stangler/8hw7jrdfehmrde1y/wish/670334962 Attendance parameters https://padlet.com/joseph_stangler/8hw7jrdfehmrde1y/wish/670345879 There should be time parameters in place for attendance so that teachers don't have to spend so much time going back and changing things (like we did in the Spring - that was awful, and a terrible time-suck)     If we let parents and students know that everything after 5 p.m (for example) would be counted for the next day, then everyone would know what to expect (and if they didn't turn anything in, or make contact before 5 p.m., it would be counted as an absence).

]]> 2020-08-05 16:38:48 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_stangler/8hw7jrdfehmrde1y/wish/670345879 Grading https://padlet.com/joseph_stangler/8hw7jrdfehmrde1y/wish/670351062 I know many high school students (and parents) want A-F grading, especially those with college aspirations, but under the circumstances, most colleges are taking COVID into consideration and not looking so much at that - wouldn't it be more prudent (and fair) to grade on a Pass/Fail scale, or another grading model?

]]> 2020-08-05 16:42:51 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_stangler/8hw7jrdfehmrde1y/wish/670351062 Time off Protocols shaunna_roberdeau https://padlet.com/joseph_stangler/8hw7jrdfehmrde1y/wish/670620302 What happens if a teacher needs to quarantine. Either due to exposure themselves, family exposure, or family sickness? How will subs (??) be covered, where will the time off count? If we have to use our own sick time for this, I imagine a lot of teachers going to work anyway? There needs to be very clear guidance about how this will work. If we are out for quarantine or sickness, who does our planning and delivery of instruction? And how do students receive the instruction?]]> 2020-08-05 20:47:38 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_stangler/8hw7jrdfehmrde1y/wish/670620302 shaunna_roberdeau https://padlet.com/joseph_stangler/8hw7jrdfehmrde1y/wish/670622523 Four days of workshop week doesn't seem like enough to get teachers ready. If we are to deliver the educational services that our parents and students are used to, we need guidance quickly and clearly. Are we really waiting until a week before we start working to give out guidance about these big rocks? It seems to me like the big rocks should be addressed NOW with staff, and the smaller details can be shared at the end of August.]]> 2020-08-05 20:50:22 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_stangler/8hw7jrdfehmrde1y/wish/670622523 shaunna_roberdeau https://padlet.com/joseph_stangler/8hw7jrdfehmrde1y/wish/670624461 Where are students reporting when teachers are absent? Can we still operate without subs.]]> 2020-08-05 20:52:39 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_stangler/8hw7jrdfehmrde1y/wish/670624461 Are we "tied" to our computers during the day? shaunna_roberdeau https://padlet.com/joseph_stangler/8hw7jrdfehmrde1y/wish/670640525 We do in person assessments in the art rooms. Are students online expected to watch the assessments? Is that a violation of data privacy? When will be do the things that are classroom/materials management? IE loading kilns, cleaning tools, organizing tools, sanitizing sinks, etc. We are constantly having conversations with students. Are those all on camera?]]> 2020-08-05 21:12:21 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_stangler/8hw7jrdfehmrde1y/wish/670640525 Are all of our lessons supposed to be recorded? Actually? shaunna_roberdeau https://padlet.com/joseph_stangler/8hw7jrdfehmrde1y/wish/670643798 2020-08-05 21:16:20 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_stangler/8hw7jrdfehmrde1y/wish/670643798 How would we change grading right now? shaunna_roberdeau https://padlet.com/joseph_stangler/8hw7jrdfehmrde1y/wish/670644803 I agree that A-F grading doesn't work. It needs to change. However, is this really the time to change it? We can't even give staff and families clear guidance about what the school will look like in a month. There is NO WAY teachers will be on board with implementing something like this right now.]]> 2020-08-05 21:17:38 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_stangler/8hw7jrdfehmrde1y/wish/670644803 Course Fees https://padlet.com/joseph_stangler/8hw7jrdfehmrde1y/wish/671204951 Will course fees be assigned to students if we are in a hybrid or distance learning model?
  • Courses such as art may need to distribute supplies for use at home.
