Essential Instructional Recommendations
We strongly encourage:
• Planning for remote learning that respects the needs of all students and staff
• Implementing remote learning that attends to the diversity of each community to ensure that all students have access to equitable educational opportunities• Meticulously documenting the best efforts possible being made under the current emergency conditions with regard to students with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and Section 504 Plans• Structuring active student engagement with learning in accordance with the ageappropriate thresholds• Selecting content for remote learning that is aligned to standards, relevant, and appropriate for each student• Practicing consistent communication with students, families, and staff to understand how the health emergency is impacting them
Essential Grading Recommendations
• The emphasis for schoolwork assigned, reviewed, and completed during the remote learning period is on learning, not on compliance
• Grading should focus on the continuation of learning and prioritize the connectedness and care for students and staff. All students should have the opportunity to redo, make up, or try again to complete, show progress, or attempt to complete work assigned prior to the remote learning period in that time frame. A focus on keeping children emotionally and physically safe, fed, and engaged in learning should be our first priority during this unprecedented time.• Local districts should develop alternate methods of assessment for career and technical education course work, where appropriate, including use of video, electronic submission, etc.• Dual credit policies should be developed in conjunction with partner institutions• More broadly, nothing in this recommendation is intended to replace or supersede federal or state law, contracts, or collective bargaining agreements or established past practice
School boards may need to reconvene to amend board policies and administrators
may need to revise administrative procedures to address the circumstances created by
the COVID-19 outbreak.
School districts should work with their legal counsel and, where
applicable, in consultation with relevant collective bargaining entities to address remote
learning needs in policies and procedures.
School districts must pay particular attention
to any issues impacting the work conditions of employees, including the framework of
any remote plans, acceptable use policies, and use of personal devices.
