Distance Learning

Distance Learning refers to instruction provided by Nea or ACLC staff when we are not able to provide in-person instruction, or, during the at-home instruction days outlined in the hybrid model below.

Distance Learning includes virtual classroom meetings as well as asynchronous learning in the form of independent work, recorded video instruction, and work assigned on online platforms.

Remote Learning

Remote Learning refers to the option for families who decide that they are not comfortable with returning to in-person learning, due to health conditions or other reasons. Remote Learning is currently provided through third party vendor, as follows:

Nea will be using Accelerate Education for K-5th grade and Edgenuity for 6-12th grade.

ACLC will be using BYU Independent Study (grades 7-12) or Edgenuity (grades 6-12).

Hybrid/HyFlex Model

When health conditions allow, ACLC and Nea will implement a hybrid model, in which learners spend two to three days on campus in small learning pods of up to 13 learners.

Learners will be on campus either Monday and Thursday or Tuesday and Friday. Some learners may also be on campus on Wednesdays for enrichment or support programs. When not on campus, learners will participate in independent distance learning activities.

HyFlex: Learners who are not able to participate in in-person instruction will be able to view in-person classroom instruction from home.

Nea Lower Village (K-5) Hybrid Model (Updated 11/30/2020)

The schedule for the K-5 hybrid model based on stakeholder feedback. Adjustments may be made based on further collaboration with labor partners.

Logistics:

• Learners will participate on campus twice a week, either on Monday and Thursday or on Tuesday and Friday.
• Staggered start/end times are currently being developed and worked into each schedule, e.g. some learners may begin at 8:10 and end at 2:50 while other learners go from 8:20 to 3:00pm. This is to increase social distancing and reduce the amount of contacts each learner has when arriving and leaving campus.
• Learners will have two days of on-site lessons per week.
• Learners will have two days of Distance Learning per week.
  • Each Distance Learning day will have about 120 minutes of daily independent work to be completed.
• Wednesday is used for specific targeted services.

Considerations:

• Learner and staff safety is paramount!
• Fewer learners on campus at any given time
• Fewer learners per class
• More time in person for younger learners
• Provide opportunities for learners to learn, together, on campus.
• Increased "prep time and collaboration time" is worked into both in person and remote learning models to allow time for pre-recording of lessons, Zoom time, monitoring work, planning for schedules, etc.
• "Differentiation" is on-campus learner time for Specialized Academic Instruction, small group work, Tier II supports, etc.

Definitions:

• "Prep" time is all of the work that helps learners access the course curriculum when they are not at school and/or on-campus instruction, and may include pre-recording of reading stories, developing assignments that can be completed from home, whole class or small group online meetings, office hours, supporting learners on Google Classroom, monitoring work, communicating with families, etc.
• "Small Group Time" is on-campus learner time that can be used for Specialized Academic Instruction, acceleration for advanced learners, pre-teaching or re-teaching supports, group projects, access to counselors and social-emotional supports, etc.

Learning Continuity and Attendance Plans (mandated by Senate Bill 98) are intended to provide information at the local level for how student learning continuity will be addressed during the COVID-19 crisis in the 2020-21 school year.
