Elementary School Remote Learning Remote Teaching and Learning Chapel staff uses researched-based instructional strategies to support student learning. We strive to provide developmentally appropriate practices to all our students. This means that special attention is placed on individualizing and differentiating instruction to meet each student where his/her development is in each area.
Synchronous Activities Synchronous learning is the kind of learning that happens in real time. This means that students, their classmates, and their teacher will interact through video conferencing on “Zoom” and/or “Google Meets”.
Asynchronous Activities Asynchronous learning happens within each class schedule. Teachers will provide materials for reading, presentations for viewing, assignments for completing, and projects for assessment. Students have the ability to access and satisfy these requirements within each day. Methods of asynchronous learning include video content, virtual libraries, and posted assignments.
Remote Learning 100% of the student population is online Remote learning is fully digital. Teaching is delivered through digital means, such as learning platforms, videos, shared documents, synchronous and asynchronous activities, and others.
Hybrid Learning Stage 1 - 35% of the student population and Stage 2 - 70% of the student population Some students are on campus and some students are at home Hybrid learning is what happens when part of the school experience is online, and part of the experience is on campus. A reduced number of students are on campus and follow a modified schedule, and observe enhanced health and safety precautions that include physical distancing. The remaining students continue learning from home with some synchronous and asynchronous learning. This model allows students to be on campus for a full day, focuses on core classes, allows teachers to follow best pedagogical practices, enables intervention and enrichment, provides an equitable learning environment, and aligns with best practices from international schools worldwide. The presence of students on campus is not mandatory, as long as students complete their tasks online.
