How? Using the QSAC DPR areas to guide us... Instruction and Program - for example, will there be teacher/student flexibility or will we have a schedule? What about pre-assessments? How about tests? Fiscal - for example, how will we plan for increases in some areas and decreases in others? Governance - for example, which board policies/regulations need to be adjusted if we are remote or hybrid? Operations - for example, how can we run bus routes? What if someone becomes sick at school? How will we do lunch? Extracurriculars? Personnel - for example, do we need more of a particular position if we are remote vs in-person? How will ensure teacher safety?
Collection of feedback on remote learning... Teacher survey developed and distributed by the Instructional Council Parent survey developed by Mr. Porowski Student survey developed by Mrs. Kirschner and Mrs. Taylor
