Work is not required but recommended so kids can actively be
engaged in learning during this time. The learning packet work really has a focus on
participation and effort rather than a focus on grades due to the inequity in
homes across our system of schools. The standards covered in the learning packets are the most
important, priority standards that will make the biggest difference for
students’ success in their upcoming grade level.
No grades are being entered into the
gradebook. Instead, NHA is
developing a tool for teachers to track participation and contact with
students.
Instead of spending time grading work, teachers should provide
feedback as well as correct misconceptions as needed.
Rather than earning a grade, ask
parents/kids to take a picture of one completed assignment each week (their
best work, their favorite assignment, etc.) as a check-in on who’s participating.
Please do not
hesitate to speak with your dean during your grade level/PLC meeting this week
if you still have lingering questions.
