BTWLC Remote Learning Plans
SCORE Program Students -
If the school is closed and the district announces "remote learning," students must log in to their Edgenuity or iReady/IXL account and complete at least 30 minutes of work per class, as well as one assigned SEL lesson. The online programs will track the time students spend actively completing work and will record "idle time" if no assignments are being done. To receive credit for the day and earn their daily points, students must meet these minimum requirements.
Teachers will hold "Remote Office Hours" from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM. They will provide students with a Google Meets link via email, which can be used to connect with teachers for assistance during these times.
The Edgenuity Learning Platform can be accessed on computers or smartphones. Students are familiar with this platform and know their login credentials.
Credit Recovery Courses - complete work on EdgeEx.
In the event of extenuating circumstances (ie: power outages), here are some assignments students can complete and turn in upon return to school:
All English/ELA - Students should keep a daily journal about their day and what they may be feeling. They will need to write in complete sentences with correct capitalization and punctuation. New paragraphs should be started for new topics (about 6 - 10 sentences/paragraph). This will be submitted upon return to school.
All Science - Students should go outside or look out the window and try to identify and draw the clouds they see. On the same sheet of paper, record the weather for the day. Include high/low temperature, humidity, dewpoint, wind speed, and any precipitation (snow or ice). Follow the writing standards as listed for English/ELA. This will be submitted upon return to school.
All Math - Students should continue work on IXL. If they do not have access to a computer, students should develop 6 questions based on the current concepts they are learning in class and solve the problems. This will be submitted upon return to school.
All History - Complete work in Edgenuity. If students do not have access to a computer, they can write a journal entry from the perspective of a historical figure they’ve learned about, imagining what a day in their life might have been like. They can include details about the time period, challenges faced, and significant events. This will be submitted upon return to school.
SEL - Continue working on Edgenuity assignments. If a student does not have access to a computer, they can write a one-page essay on the following topic: "Think about a time when you faced a challenge. How did you handle it, and what did you learn about yourself?" This will be submitted to the counselor upon return to school.
Inspire Academy Program Students -
If the school is closed and the district announces "remote learning," QPs will reach out to each family and schedule a Google Meets with students. Parents can also contact QPs via Class DoJo.
Students will have a packet sent home with them to complete work. This must be returned to their QP in order to receive credit for the day.
