Distance Learning Plan

2020-2021

-

Distance Learning Definition:

Teacher led instruction through a digital platform. Students will have access to their coursework through the district’s learning management system (Google Classroom).

This distance learning has numerous differences from the distance learning that we experienced in the Spring of 2020. 

• An improvement of the quality and depth of the curriculum
• Utilization of our new Learning Management System (Google Classroom)
• A mix of pre-recorded videos and real-time virtual lessons
• Grades will be recorded
• Attendance will be recorded
• Regular support from Teachers and Teacher Assistance
• Opportunities for students to collaborate and learn by interacting virtually with peers/teachers/teacher assistance

 

Distance Learning Will Occur based on one of the following situations:

• In the event of a school closure
• A student has a lengthy absence for medical or another approved reason
• A student/class has been exposed to COVID-19 resulting in quarantine
• A family has chosen to use the virtual platform in place of the in-person learning
• The school is closed due to inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances.

 

Steps to insure all students have equal access to digital connectivity

• The district will provide Chromebooks for each student.
• The district will survey families to determine need of access to digital connectivity

Students that do not have access to digital connectivity will be issued a hotspot from the district.

 

Curriculum

Lessons and assignments will consist of teacher provided content and will be aligned to current Oklahoma Academic Standards.

• Students in Kindergarten through eighth grade will be assessed with STAR literacy.  Star Literacy will sync with Exact Path.  This will provide students with personalized practice that is tailored to their current level.  This helps to ensure that gaps in instruction from the academic interruption in the spring are identified and corrected.
• Opportunities for students to collaborate and learn by interacting virtually with peers/teachers
• Students will be assigned course work that meets current Oklahoma Academic Standards in multiple formats (Ex- Google Sheets, Google Slides, and links to other resources).
• Students will be assessed with STAR testing three times throughout the year to determine student progress.

Online Resources

• Learning Management System

Google Classroom

• Online Textbook for sixth through eighth Science
• Instructional Resources through a variety of websites including YouTube, IXL, Exact Path, Kids A-Z, Freckles, Splash Math, ABC Mouse, Aleks Math, Imagine Math

Schedule of Distance Learning

• Students will be provided 5 days of content in reading and math and 2-3 days of content in science and social studies
• Early Childhood grades may be assigned minutes of practice of specific skills in addition to assigned coursework.

 

Attendance

Students will be counted present based on completion of daily assignments as well as meeting scheduled due dates for assignments.  If a student doesn’t turn in their work for a given day, they will be counted absent. These absences will follow the traditional absence policy for traditional learning that is in outlined in our school handbook.  Absences can be excused if they meet the same requirements outlined in our school handbook.

Grading

• Based on the Oklahoma State Department of Education’s guidelines, school grading policies for remote student work must be consistent with those used before COVID-19 for district assignments.  Any virtual environment, by choice or by governmental decision, will follow the same grading guidelines as in-person instruction, as set forth in our handbook.
• In turn, the grading policy in place for the district will continue in a Distance Learning environment and will not move to other systems such as pass/fail.
• Teachers will provide timely feedback to students/parents throughout distance learning.  The grading/assessments procedures will mirror grading procedures/structures used in the traditional classroom setting.
• Students will be promoted to the next grade based on grades and assessments at the end of the school year using the same process that in-person learning uses.

 

 

 

Communication

District Communication

• In the case of a class/school/county/state quarantine or closure, the district will announce that we are shifting into distance learning via an all call, social media, a mailed letter (with return date if available), and the school website.

Teacher Communication

• Teachers will communicate with students and parents through Google classroom, Google Meets, emails, phone calls and ClassTag.
• In the case of a school closure (with the exception of bad weather or a quarantine) teachers and assistance will report to their classroom each day.  Virtual meetings/check-ins will be provided for students.

Extracurricular Activities

Students that are receiving distance learning that are not in quarantine are allowed to participate in extracurricular activities that are offered by the district that they are eligible for.
