No habrá escuela para los estudiantes. La encuesta de la segunda semana nos mostró: - El 72% de las familias compartieron que escucharon de los maestros más de 5 veces durante la semana. - El 85% compartió que sus estudiantes estaban enfocado en las tareas Lo que los padres apreciaron más: - Los maestros hacen un gran trabajo para mantener a los padres informados con una comunicación constante - Los estudiantes pueden trabajar a su propio ritmo. - Alta participación estudiantil a través de video chat y reuniones de zoom - Cantidad de maestros y personal disponible para preguntas - Los padres se sienten más cómodos con el horario y disfrutan más tiempo con su familia. Lo que escuchamos ¿Cómo estamos abordando esto o para qué estamos trabajando? Maestros, estudiantes y familias intentando de crear un equilibrio. Los padres compartieron que están comenzando a tener un horario y aprecian el horario flexible mientras administran la escuela y el hogar. Nuestras escuelas están trabajando para crear horarios más flexibles y más tiempos de apoyo de maestro junto con la enseñanza en línea. Los padres compartieron que más maestros están utilizando plataformas de cara a cara para ensenar lecciones. Nuestro objetivo es aumentar la cantidad de chats en vivo diarios o tutoriales en video para proporcionar orientación e instrucción para el trabajo publicado.
