 Dear Elementary Math Teachers,As you begin the process of planning for student distance learning opportunities, it is very important to consider how you will share content with your students. Students will have different levels of access to digital resources, and you may have to use a variety or combination of delivery methods as you begin to design your students distance learning.Paper Pencil OnlyPaper Pencil with Personal DevicePartially OnlineFully OnlineThis delivery mechanism would be appropriate for students that do not have access to technology.This would be delivered primarily through packets, readers, and consumable books to be picked up at the campus.Documents will look best if they are printed from a pdf format.This delivery mechanism would be appropriate for students who may have access to a personal device such as a cell phone. These devices could be a great tool for watching videos, but are not great for reading assignments or giving digital responses.This would be delivered through packets, readers and consumable books as well, but could have links or QR codes that take them to digital content to consume on their device.This delivery mechanism would be appropriate for students who have access to a computer and reliable internet in the home.Students would be doing some learning and assignment submission through digital content and some learning and assignments through paper and pencil.Digital tools such as Google classroom, Google forms, EdPuzzle, SeeSaw, and your teacher webpage are ways you can distribute information and assignments to students. This delivery mechanism would be appropriate for students who have access to a computer and reliable internet in the home.In this type of distance learning, students will have all content and assignments delivered digitally through a Learning Management System (LMS). Google Classroom is a very basic LMS. EduSmart and Edgenuity are more robust LMSs that have content available.In the event that a child does not have access to technology or has special learning accommodations, campuses must provide printed instructional materials for parents to pick up. Parents can pick up the materials in front of the school by teacher name or grade level. Printed materials must be available for parents to pick up on Monday morning. The assignments will need to be completed and returned by the following Monday, whenparents pick up the new materials. Teachers will need to provide students a viable way to communicate if they are completing packet work (see options below).In order to help teachers with finding resources, the specialists have created an Abbreviated Distance Learning YAG for each math grade level or course that has been populated with four weeks worth of sample lessons, questions, and video resources. These documents are linked in the Spring Semester of our current Year-at-a-Glance documents, which can be found on our Math Webpage (). Please watch the video linked below to help you find them.How to access Abbreviated Distance Learning YAGsThe table below has additional Resources and links that can be used in delivery of instruction:Type of ResourceResource DescriptorLinksNEISD Textbook ResourcesAdopted Textbooks(must be logged in to NEISD) Internet ResourcesKhan Academy Math!(Free during school closures.)Username: Math@NEISD Password: NEISD1920Additional Resources remember when developing your Distance Learning experiences for your students, they will need the following weekly:2-3 assignments per week. Assignments should be available for students to access by Monday morningsInclude videos that align to the TEKS of focus. We have included some in our Digital Learning Scope and SequenceYou will need to post 3-5 questions per content area/course weekly through Seesaw or Google Classroom that students can respond to by FridayEach assignment should take students 30-45 minutes to completeYou will provide feedback based on the student responses by the following Wednesday end of dayYou will assign grades to students based on their responsesIf a student needs to communicate with their teacher, they can use email, Zoom, or an app such as Remind that masks their teacher’s phone numberWe recommend that teachers use Zoom (Zoom Link) to communicate, share plans, collaborate as PLCs.This sample schedule is also being provided that you can use to send home to parents.If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Cheryl Mutz at cmutz@ or (210)407-0336.
