Home Learning with Choice Boards During School Closures<\/h1>\n

(This interview was recorded on March 19, 2020.)<\/p>\n

Today, I am chatting with my friend and colleague, Laura Steinbrink<\/a>. Laura is a high school teacher with 24 years of experience and is currently teaching in Plato, Missouri, as well as the communications director and softball coach for her district. She wears many hats in her small, rural school district.<\/p>\n

Laura has always integrated technology in her classroom. Her students have been using Google Classroom and many other digital tools during the regular school year. So they already understand how to use many different tools.<\/p>\n

It’s also worth noting that at the time of this interview, state testing was still on the table. But very soon after we wrapped up, Laura received the news that it had been waived.<\/p>\n

Laura’s school district is closed, like many across the world, due to the coronavirus. Teachers were given a very short amount of time to plan for home learning. Many students do not have devices or internet access, so they had to provide paper packets that were hand-delivered to their students with an entire week’s worth of assignments.<\/p>\n

The teachers were told they had to give both online and offline options for the activities they provide students during this time. Any students with IEPs must be supplied with paper modifications.<\/p>\n

Teachers at Laura’s school district were told, “Whatever you do CAN be done digitally, but MUST be offered on paper.”
