Gurnee School District 56 utilized an E-Learning Day on February 9, 2018. This document represents the feedback report as required through the pilot acceptance contract. A description of the process and evidence used to verify that a minimum of five clock hours of instruction or schoolwork was provided for each student participating on the eLearning Day.
eLearning Days provide school districts with an option for continuing an instructional day away from traditional time limits and brick and mortar setting.
This guidance is provided as a resource to support implementation of the eLearning Day Program. Although this document was originally prepared to assist schools in planning for students with significant disabilities, the suggestions in this document can be applied when planning for all students with disabilities.
The district’s plan shall indicate how the nontraditional instruction process shall be a continuation of learning that is occurring on regular student attendance days. Instructional delivery methods, including the use of technology, shall be clearly delineated in the plan.
While this checklist is intended to be a resource for schools working to implement eLearning Days, it may not represent all necessary considerations. Additional items may be identified at the local level. These considerations are not mandated, they are intended to provide guidance as you work to build and scale high-quality eLearning Day experiences for your students.
The AFT is providing useful and regularly updated guidance for how teachers, school staff and local K-12 leaders can be prepared for the coronavirus. Make sure you ask the right questions to see if your school’s or district’s planning is comprehensive, clear and collaborative.
