Distant Teaching and Learning Classroom Expectations

  •  

    General Expectations

    · Students should not share their login information, meeting links, or passwords with others.

    · To the extent possible, students should participate in virtual instruction from a quiet and neutral area that is free of distractions.

    · School and classroom rules apply to the virtual instruction environment.

    · It is recommended that students review the District Technology Acceptable/Responsible Use Policy regarding expectations for behavior while conducting themselves online and on District devices. [Click here to Review the CVUSD Responsible Use Policy.]

    · Students should dress appropriately for virtual instruction sessions.

    · Students who use inappropriate language, share inappropriate images, or in any way behave inappropriately on a video conference will be subject to appropriate discipline.

    · Students should not conduct audio or video recordings or take screen shots of virtual class meetings or activities unless they have received prior permission to do so from a teacher or authorized District official.

    · To the extent possible, parents should allow the student to work with the instructor or provider in a quiet, private space. However, to the extent a student requires adult support to participate in virtual instruction/services, a parent or guardian may be specifically asked by the instructor or service provider to provide such support.

    · Once the virtual instruction session or meeting is over, students should be sure to close out of the meeting platform entirely. Students should also ensure that cameras are covered and that microphones are turned off to avoid inadvertent transmission following the meeting.

    Virtual Meetings

    1.  Students should login to our virtual meeting before the start time.  I recommend starting this process a few minutes before class is to begin.  

    2.  Students should remain visible for our entire class time.  Please start the meeting by muting yourself.  We will install a chrome application for raising hands and thumbs up/thumbs down checks for understanding.

    3.  All meeting times are at the header of our Google Classroom.

    4.  If a student is absent from a meeting, then please contact a classmate or the teacher to get a copy of the notes and the homework assignment on the same day as the absence.  

    Communications / Academics

    I will be using the Remind ap to communicate with students about upcoming academic events.  The code for each class can be found in the course specific expectations.  Parents are welcome to join the remind for their child's class.

    Assignments

    Assignments will be posted on Google Classroom

    Students with Classlink to access most of the online platforms that we will be using.  These include Google Classroom, our online textbook, Outlook (student email) etc.

    Assessments

    Tests will be assigned once or twice for each Unit/Chapter of study.  Tests will be announced in advance.  Quizzes will be announced and will be given often. 

     

    Feedback

    Students will get feedback as comments in Google Classroom or as corrections annotated on submitted work.  It is always my intention to return work in a timely manner.  

     

    Grades

    I use the Aeries Grading Program and will send grades home every week.  Please check Aeries often, as I update grades often.
