All students attend class in their school buildings.
· All students continue full remote learning.
· Students attend school in a hybrid, blended model that combines some in-school learning and some remote learning at home.
Bolden said the district’s goal is to have school “in person, if we can.”
“But we’re living in a pandemic, and it’s very clear that we have to be prepared that some students may not be able to come to school, and the state might say, ‘You can’t go to school.’
“We don’t know what this coming year will bring, so we know we have to be prepared for that. Part of that preparation is giving our teachers additional ongoing training on how they can have those personal interactions with students in an efficient and successful manner,” he said.
In addition to input from staff at each school in the district, the return-to-school plans will incorporate feedback from the family survey, Bolden said.
Personal interaction helps
Getting back to the survey results, Bolden said families of older students reported having a bit more success with remote learning than families with younger children.
“But about 25 percent of our families said that it wasn’t (successful), which obviously is a concern for us,” he said. “We have been looking at what remote learning should look like and how we can adjust that.”
The survey indicated that the level of personal interaction students had with teachers was a contributing factor to both those unsuccessful and successful experiences, Bolden said.
“The more successful positive live interactions that students had with their teachers, the better those students’ experiences were,” he said. “We’re taking steps to adjust our instruction (accordingly).”
In the survey, families provided these preferences for a return to school:
· 53 percent selected full in-classroom learning as their first choice.
· 58 percent selected a blended model, combining in-school and remote learning -- such as alternate days or partial days -- as their second choice.
· 15 percent selected full remote distance learning as their first choice.
“It is clear from this data that an overwhelming majority of our families want their children receiving some or all of their instruction in person,” Bolden said.
