This spring when we ALL had morning meeting at the same time it was impossible to do and we have AMAZING internet. Can we be flexible with classrooms doing morning meetings at a time that works for them. Not all at the same time each day. https://padlet.com/alejandra_estrada/lecd1gwoenblby5v/wish/684830823 2020-08-18 14:04:20 UTC https://padlet.com/alejandra_estrada/lecd1gwoenblby5v/wish/684830823 How will the support centers play into this schedule? https://padlet.com/alejandra_estrada/lecd1gwoenblby5v/wish/684840397 2020-08-18 14:07:28 UTC https://padlet.com/alejandra_estrada/lecd1gwoenblby5v/wish/684840397 Will we getting any additional technology in our classrooms for our "live" teaching times, other then our lap tops?

In order to keep things consistent, shouldn't all teachers be using the same videos? https://padlet.com/alejandra_estrada/lecd1gwoenblby5v/wish/684848805 2020-08-18 14:10:09 UTC https://padlet.com/alejandra_estrada/lecd1gwoenblby5v/wish/684848805 This seems like a very intense schedule for teachers and for parents. I know last spring I spent probably a total of 2-3 hours a day doing attendance, checking in with those I didn't hear from, helping with tech problems, answering emails from students and parents and meeting/talking with individual parents/students that were struggling on certain assignments. There is no time in this schedule to allow for any of that. Basically the teacher will be live almost all day and not available for students/parents during the day. https://padlet.com/alejandra_estrada/lecd1gwoenblby5v/wish/684853580 2020-08-18 14:11:40 UTC https://padlet.com/alejandra_estrada/lecd1gwoenblby5v/wish/684853580 Has any thought be given to the third graders across the district about technology?

There needs to be instruction on how to use this new platform. It would be super helpful if district tech helped to put some of those together for us to share with students/parents.]]> 2020-08-18 14:17:01 UTC https://padlet.com/alejandra_estrada/lecd1gwoenblby5v/wish/684871300 How will families check in for attendance every day when they are working and kids are at daycare? Our younger learners will need adult assistance to log in, get to a meeting, get to seesaw activities and videos (asynchonous learning). If we have to do attendance by 3:40 many families are still at work - I would be. https://padlet.com/alejandra_estrada/lecd1gwoenblby5v/wish/684872009 2020-08-18 14:17:13 UTC https://padlet.com/alejandra_estrada/lecd1gwoenblby5v/wish/684872009 https://padlet.com/alejandra_estrada/lecd1gwoenblby5v/wish/684881462 How are we taking into account students that cannot access synchronous learning during the day, especially reviewing analytics of students at some schools where students were accessing school early in the morning or late at night when a caregiver was there to supervise / support them?]]> 2020-08-18 14:20:06 UTC https://padlet.com/alejandra_estrada/lecd1gwoenblby5v/wish/684881462 Google Meet ~ standards/expectations for K-5 need to be standardized.

]]> 2020-08-18 14:39:02 UTC https://padlet.com/alejandra_estrada/lecd1gwoenblby5v/wish/684944404 It seems like the plan is for all schools and grade levels to be on the same schedule, with same lesson planning. Is this realistic or best practice? We have to account for the individual pacing and learning needs of each classroom. https://padlet.com/alejandra_estrada/lecd1gwoenblby5v/wish/684946765 2020-08-18 14:39:49 UTC https://padlet.com/alejandra_estrada/lecd1gwoenblby5v/wish/684946765 modern classroom is the same thing as seesaw - just putting google classroom, IXL, schoology and screen-cast videos in one area. Kids still need to log in and out of each site. This is all the stuff we can do on Seesaw. Teachers just need better PD on how to use Seesaw and Screen-cast to make activities for students. If 4th and 5th used Seesaw this could all be done on one platform - Seesaw. Links to sites and screencast videos can be added to teacher lesson videos on Seesaw now - the same as modern classroom. https://padlet.com/alejandra_estrada/lecd1gwoenblby5v/wish/684947569 2020-08-18 14:40:04 UTC https://padlet.com/alejandra_estrada/lecd1gwoenblby5v/wish/684947569 How will the pathways work with K-5? https://padlet.com/alejandra_estrada/lecd1gwoenblby5v/wish/684965916 2020-08-18 14:45:48 UTC https://padlet.com/alejandra_estrada/lecd1gwoenblby5v/wish/684965916 How will the pathways work for IB, SEA, etc?

When is there time to give student feedback on their asynchronous work that they will also be submitting virtually. I know this spring that this took a ton of time to approve, review and give feedback virtually. This is a quicker check when we are in person and rotating for some of our small group and center time, but virtually takes so much time to review and comment back. https://padlet.com/alejandra_estrada/lecd1gwoenblby5v/wish/684990866 2020-08-18 14:53:37 UTC https://padlet.com/alejandra_estrada/lecd1gwoenblby5v/wish/684990866 Will specialist teachers be responsible for contacting students who do not log-in?

This would be more age appropriate for each grade level to agree on a set time limit. 10 min. K, 15 min 1st, 20 min. 3-5 is more age appropriate and follows attention span remote learning suggestions as pointed out in above comment. https://padlet.com/alejandra_estrada/lecd1gwoenblby5v/wish/685020434 2020-08-18 15:03:05 UTC https://padlet.com/alejandra_estrada/lecd1gwoenblby5v/wish/685020434 https://padlet.com/alejandra_estrada/lecd1gwoenblby5v/wish/685102734 this is an opportunity to shift practices that data and research have proven to be ineffective (ie.  EL pullout groups) towards those that have been identified as more effective in closing the opportunity gap of our most vulnerable students such as our LEP students]]> 2020-08-18 15:28:46 UTC https://padlet.com/alejandra_estrada/lecd1gwoenblby5v/wish/685102734 how will we give students access to books that are not online or manipulatives for math? https://padlet.com/alejandra_estrada/lecd1gwoenblby5v/wish/685110815 2020-08-18 15:31:21 UTC https://padlet.com/alejandra_estrada/lecd1gwoenblby5v/wish/685110815 Will the district be purchasing different subscriptions to online platforms such as IXL, EdPuzzle, etc? https://padlet.com/alejandra_estrada/lecd1gwoenblby5v/wish/685189730 2020-08-18 15:54:39 UTC https://padlet.com/alejandra_estrada/lecd1gwoenblby5v/wish/685189730 Will we be creating a learning pathway for both literacy and math? Will it be a list of skills (learning progression) students need to complete in order to meet the priority standard they are currently working on? https://padlet.com/alejandra_estrada/lecd1gwoenblby5v/wish/685196221 2020-08-18 15:56:41 UTC https://padlet.com/alejandra_estrada/lecd1gwoenblby5v/wish/685196221 Will high risk staff still be able to work remotely if we more to a hybrid model? https://padlet.com/alejandra_estrada/lecd1gwoenblby5v/wish/685256708 2020-08-18 16:15:29 UTC https://padlet.com/alejandra_estrada/lecd1gwoenblby5v/wish/685256708 I am so happy and thankful for the work principals have done creating a "schedule" for teaching and learning that will be consistent across the district and students will receive daily instruction. I know its a lot and students might struggle at first but I believe they can do it. We need to have high expectations for students and provide quality instruction and make accommodations for those who need it. https://padlet.com/alejandra_estrada/lecd1gwoenblby5v/wish/685304441 2020-08-18 16:29:50 UTC https://padlet.com/alejandra_estrada/lecd1gwoenblby5v/wish/685304441 Can someone at each building be the attendance person and be the staff to make phone calls to students who were absent the day before? This took a ton of time this spring and having someone or a group of people to do that would be wonderful! https://padlet.com/alejandra_estrada/lecd1gwoenblby5v/wish/685319116 2020-08-18 16:34:14 UTC https://padlet.com/alejandra_estrada/lecd1gwoenblby5v/wish/685319116 Will the district be purchasing a subscription to Razkids for Asynchronized learning. The parents loved using it last spring. https://padlet.com/alejandra_estrada/lecd1gwoenblby5v/wish/685871390 2020-08-18 19:35:57 UTC https://padlet.com/alejandra_estrada/lecd1gwoenblby5v/wish/685871390 EL model options https://padlet.com/alejandra_estrada/lecd1gwoenblby5v/wish/687378666 We could easily integrate EL co-teaching into this model instead of just creating a virtual version of "pull out groups." For example, with the learning pathways EL teachers could help create or find videos covering background knowledge, pre-teaching vocabulary, supporting concept mastery in students' first language, etc. Or they could co-teach synchronous lessons. EL should not be confined to "small group time" in the mornings. ]]> 2020-08-19 15:34:34 UTC https://padlet.com/alejandra_estrada/lecd1gwoenblby5v/wish/687378666
