Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) recommends that districts consider a variety of alternative models, strategies and schedules for the reopening of public schools for fall 2020. Designing and planning early will be key to a successful reopening.  \nEach school district may have a customized plan for reopening that best fits its students, teachers and community. Customized district-by-district digital, distance and remote learning plans should help determine how best to invest the variety of local, state and federal funds available to support learning (e.g. education technology infrastructures and supports, staffing allocations, professional learning) .  \nEach district’s reopening team should have the freedom to design the customized approaches and strategies that will work best. It is KDE’s position, in partnership, to help remove identified barriers while continuing to implement safe and healthy practices. Additionally, design considerations should be sustainable solutions that will continue to serve beyond the current public health crisis as best practices in designing learning elements. The goal during this unparalleled time is to keep community safety and well-being in mind while providing the best education possible.  \nWorth highlighting are the additional supports needed, such as rapid development of teacher professional learning, and logistics that will come into play when considering alternative learning strategies, such as transportation constraints, food service strategies and procedures, staffing, teacher assignments, community relations, and parent or household dependencies.  \nDistricts are encouraged to keep the continuity of learning and learning progressions as key components of their reopening planning efforts, and throughout the 2020-2021 school year. This is critical for student engagement as remote learning efforts transition from time spent reviewing content to teaching new material. For more guidance on constraints posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, please continue to refer to KDE’s COVID-19 Reopening Resources.  \nTable of Contents  \nConsiderations for Alternative Learning Experiences .................................................................... 2  \nStrategy 1: Scheduled Rotation................................................................................................... 2  \nStrategy 2: Synchronous Opt-In Hybrid ..................................................................................... 3  \nStrategy 3: Combination ............................................................................................................. 5  \nStrategy 4: Online and Virtual School ........................................................................................ 6  \nPossible Online/Virtual Program Implementations ................................................................ 7  \nAlternative Learning Plan Strategy Suggestions (Digital, Distance and Remote Learning)..................................................................................................................................................... 7  \nGlossary and Definitions .......................................................................................................... 9  \nConsiderations for Alternative Learning Experiences  \nKDE encourages districts to prepare alternative schedule models that may be deployed if the Kentucky Department for Public Health recommends that schools reduce the number of students in the building. Districts may build alternative schedules that meet the needs of their population. KDE has prepared four possible alternative strategies as a starting point for consideration:  \nStrategy 1: Scheduled Rotation  \nUnder a scheduled rotation strategy or model, the school would assign students to groups that would attend school on alternating patterns, such as A-B days, AM/PM patterns or alternating weeks. This method relies on several flexible variables, such as student grouping, staff grouping, day","cbCaimpqg2YPpurK","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimpqg2YPpurK","pdf",384025,11,"English","# Considerations for Alternative Learning Experiences\n## Strategy 1: Scheduled Rotation\n## Strategy 2: Synchronous Opt-In Hybrid\n## Strategy 3: Combination\n## Strategy 4: Online and Virtual School\n# Possible Online/Virtual Program Implementations\n# Alternative Learning Plan Strategy Suggestions (Digital, Distance and Remote Learning)\n# Glossary and Definitions","[{\"question\":\"What does KDE recommend districts do when planning for fall 2020 school reopening?\",\"answer\":\"KDE recommends districts consider a variety of alternative models, strategies, and schedules and plan early to support a successful reopening.\"},{\"question\":\"How can districts customize reopening plans for their students and communities?\",\"answer\":\"Each district may create a customized plan that fits its students, teachers, and community, including digital, distance, and remote learning components.\"},{\"question\":\"What learning continuity approach does KDE emphasize during the 2020–2021 school year?\",\"answer\":\"KDE encourages districts to keep learning continuity and learning progressions as key components, ensuring engagement as remote learning transitions from reviewing content to teaching new material.\"}]","Reopening of Public Schools for Fall 2020 - Considerations and Alternative Learning Strategies | PDF",1792051587,28]
