Synchronous Instruction and Live Interaction

There is a lot of confusion surrounding the Live Interaction and Synchronous instruction offerings this year. What you need to know right now is that you are NOT required to attend either, but they might be something your student would like to participate in.

Live Interaction and Synchronous Instruction are things that were put in place in response to AB130, a bill that was written to assist students in regular public schools due to COVID-19. It requires all public schools to provide an Independent Study option, and sets guidelines for that provision.

Synchronous Instruction

ALL VISIONS teachers will be providing online synchronous instruction as follows:

• Grades TK-3: 30 minutes of instruction every day
• Grades 4-8: 30 minutes of instruction once per week
• Grades 9-12: 60 minutes of instruction once per week

My synchronous instruction schedule is:

• Grades TK-3: Monday through Friday from 9:30 to 10:30
• Grades 4-8: Wednesday from 10:30 to 11:00
• Grades 9-12: Thursday from 10:30 to 11:30

Classes will be via Zoom and students will be required to log into the class using their Visions email account. For directions on how to do that, click here. 

If you are interested in having your student attend synchronous instruction during LP1, please email me so I can know who is coming and plan accordingly. I WILL BE AVAILABLE AT THE ABOVE TIMES DURING LP1, but my plan is to survey all families to gauge attendance and subject matter interest so I can create meaningful lessons beginning in LP2. I will update with more information about class agendas (subject matter, plans, standards covered, etc.) once I have a chance to plan.  

Please let me know if you have questions or suggestions regarding synchronous instruction.
