• For the first two weeks of this distance learning platform, there is not an expectation for individual conferring with students.  However, there is an expectation that you will reach out via email or phone to check on students and families Let’s see what we’ve learned by April 6th and revisit this question. 

• Rather than have students post their writing, make sure their work remains private and is assigned to them specifically. (See confidentiality statement above.)  Teachers are going to have to really look at the mini-lessons and the mid-workshop teaching points to determine 1) if it makes sense in a distance environment and 2) if it is what students need next.  Again, I would also like to caution teachers to think about posting once a week at first. Families have to get the hang of this too. Once you see families are able to handle more, then you can communicate that you will be posting on Mondays and Thursdays, or whatever you choose.

• For elementary students, let’s not think about this as a daily post, but rather as a weekly posting that happens once a week for now, and students then have a week to engage in the learning.  Teachers could post two 5 - 10 minute mini-lessons for reading and writing, and then have students practice the skill as they read and write independently.  
• Independent reading and writing should be assigned based on what you have assigned students in the past.  So, for example, if you are a fifth grade teacher and students are expected to read for 30 minutes nightly already, that expectation would remain.  You could also then ask students as part of their “off-line” work to read additional time to practice and apply the skill you taught. If however you do not have a routine in place for nightly reading, be mindful that you are setting new expectations for students.  Also, don’t forget, you may be using the RAZ materials to have them read as well.

• I want to say yes to this, but so much could go wrong here.  I am going to say yes to digital anchor charts and ask that we wait until we’ve had time to look at the videos as well as the site privacy / materials review policies.  One big cautionary tale here - DO NOT USE THE TEACHERS PAY TEACHERS ANCHOR CHART STUFF (or any of the sites like them). I am worried about copyright rules here, and this is uncharted territory.

• Only if you are able to keep them private.  If you create a reading log template and push it out in Google Classroom assigned to every student, Google will create an individualized (named for that student) reading log.  This would keep it private so that it could be viewed only by the teacher. If this is too much, students could keep a reading log at home and turn it in at the end of distance learning.

ELEMENTARY 

• All students in grades k - 5 have access to RAZ kids.  This provides leveled texts for them to read on-line. Students are able to highlight text, create a vocabulary journal, write responses, record their oral reading, and complete comprehension quizzes that allow for written responses as well as a multiple choice format. 

MIDDLE 

• Students receiving Reading AIS in grades 6 - 8 and our self-contained classrooms at HMS have access to RAZ kids through their AIS providers.  

• All students in grades 6 - 8 have access to SCOPE reading magazine.  There is an on-line component of this magazine which English/Reading teachers are able to “push out” via Google Classroom.

FOR EVERYONE

• Other teaching materials can be found for students in grades 3 - 12 on NewsELA.  The District has the Pro version of this web based application.
