Middle School
- The Homeroom teacher will send a quick ‘welcome’ video each morning via Zoom and/or have a Zoom Conference at 8:30 in order to check in with students.
- The main core Lessons of English, Maths, Science and Mother tongue will be the focus for the first week (except year 9 where exam preparation and practice will continue)
- Teachers may wish to review or continue topics originally introduced before the holiday. As the weeks progress, the teachers will set new topics or research projects. These projects should be broken down into smaller steps to ensure that students can make effective progress.
- Students in Grade 9 may engage in more detailed research, as long as an initial template and rubric is given. Quality is more important than quantity.
- Subject Teachers will post the learning activities to be completed during the day, to the main learning platform and provide a checklist that students can use during the day to ensure they complete all assigned tasks.
- Teams will determine a consistent method for collaboration and include administrators. Teams will collaborate often to ensure a smooth roll out.
- Teachers will track student progress to ensure participation and check-in with students if students are struggling or non-participatory. Grace and understanding should always govern decisions.
- Feedback to students will be given on every assignment, even if it is just a thumbs up (or red green yellow colour code). Voice and video feedback are extremely valuable to your students when possible.
- Teachers will email parents a general update at least once a week.
- Zoom sessions should be not more than 20min with any individual student or group of students. Send the zoom link in the checklist and on the platform to be used (Moodle, email or Onedrive). Students will not be penalized for not participating.
- Please report student concerns to Nigel Schofield (and Hayde Summa). Remember to lead with understanding and an open mind.
- Teachers should maintain a healthy work/life balance. Keep lines of communication open between all teachers and with Nigel Schofield /Roy White. If you are having any difficulty in this new frontier of learning, please ask for assistance.
