All groups reported benefits (time-management, learning technology, building independence). Some parents want an online only experience for the fall, mainly for safety reasons and some teachers are interested in continued distance teaching. All groups were frustrated by having to navigate multiple online platforms, and expressed concerns about ability to communicate with each other. Varied teacher expectations, and too much busy-work were reported by students/parents. Students and parents want more human interaction (“live” learning time; opportunities for students to interact with their peers academically and socially). Teachers want more training and better equipment. Parents and teachers want SEL support, tutoring help, and letter grades. Next Steps and Closing Thoughts on Summer Learning & Student Support -We use data to inform next steps. -We have used qualitative input to offer summer well-being resources (FRC). -Our summer learning options are based on needs/feedback. Our engagement of a representative Advisory Committee will bring voice to our next steps. Next Steps - Initial Budget Prioritization - Use of survey data to prioritize academic and social emotional supports for school reopening - Home Learning Survey (students, teachers, parents) - Parent Survey developed with partners (Public Advocates, Children’s Defense Fund & Californians for Justice) - Focus groups - Family Resource Center data - Initial meeting of 2020 Budget Advisory Committee to include staff, students and community stakeholders Next Steps - Reopening of Schools - Elementary, Middle and High School Reopening Advisory Committees will bring voice to our next steps -Members represent certificated, classified, labor partners, parents & students -Meetings will continue through July and as needed in August - Formation of an equity curriculum advisory committee to include staff, students and community stakeholders - Preparation to launch districtwide social emotional learning (SEL) strategy
