Two Teachers

Here we sit usually setting up our classroom for the coming year. If you are like us, you might be in limbo with what is to come this year. Today's episode seeks to discuss things we can do NOW even though we are approaching the unkNOWn. We are both in two different places with our plan to return to school. I am beginning with a soft start to ease the students into the protocols of the new world. I will then be providing instruction for all in-person learners. About a third of my normal amount of students will be learning virtually under the instruction of a virtual-only teacher. Luke is in a hybrid situation where he plans and provides virtual instruction and sees the kids once a week in person in a block like schedule. He is instructing students who are in that hybrid and those who have chosen all virtual learning. Regardless of our approach we are entering a world not like the spring. Our instruction, rather than being an emergency, will be more like the experience we would provide in every other year.
