Buzzing in my Brain

  • Do you ever get questions stuck in your head? This week I have two that are buzzing around in there:
  • How/When do we give students an opportunity to redo work so that it meets the quality of the standard?
  • How do we acknowledge and respect that we are in people's homes every day and that may or may not be uncomfortable for people?

K-6 After School Program

  • BPS will be working with Out-of-School-Time (OST) partners and agencies to provide direct support to students' academic experiences and instruction outside the traditional school day. The programming will take place online or in-person in the neighborhoods of our students, especially those with the greatest need.
  • Student criteria for program eligibility are based on students who need intensive support as signified by  ELA and math grades from the 1st  quarter in SY20-21. 
  • For more information about the program please click here
  • We have 82 students that will be invited to attend

    BPS Moves Together Movement Break Cards

    • The Office of Health and Wellness is excited to share a movement break card deck for classroom teachers and school leaders. 
    • They have adapted all activities for virtual and distance learning settings. 
    • Check it out here! 

    Most Things Reopening

    • The staffing template found here has multiple tabs including duty assignment, lunch schedule, and contingency staffing plan
    • Please familiarize yourself with this document. The information in it is important
    Contingency Staffing Plan:

    • Last week there was some confusion over the role of partner teachers. 
    • The K0/K1 team asked if we could meet to discuss the plan and try to come up with an action for many possible scenarios
    • You may find this helpful to do with your grade level team and partner teacher. 
    • I think this was a productive meeting though we do not have all of the answers yet 
    • Here is where we left it:



    Scenario

    Plan A

    Plan B

    Scenario 1

    The teacher needs to stay home due to covid protocol but is well enough to work remotely

    - Teacher covers remote kids. 


    - Para cover in-person kids.


    Scenario 2

    Para needs to stay home due to covid protocol but is well enough to work remotely.

    - Para covers remote kids. 


    - Teacher covers in-person kids.


    Scenario 3

    The teacher is too sick to work from home.

    - Para covers in-person kids.


    - Remote kids log onto partner teachers zoom

    If the partner teacher is out, remote students will learn asynchronously

    Scenario 4

    Para is too sick to work from home.

    - Teacher covers in-person kids. 


    - Remote kids log onto partner teacher's zoom.

    If the partner teacher is out, remote students will learn asynchronously

    Scenario 5

    The teacher and Para need to stay home due to covid protocol but are well enough to work from home.

    - Teacher and para cover remote kids. 


    In person kids are equally distributed among the other 3 classrooms.


    Possibly find another staff member to cover in-person kids


    Scenario 6

    The teacher and Para are both home and too sick to work.

    - Remote kids log into partner teachers zoom.


    In person kids are equally distributed among the other 2 classrooms.


    Possibly find another staff member to cover in-person kids

    If the partner teacher is out, remote students will learn asynchronously
