On May 4th, Philly will move to "Phase 4" of online learning (aka the graded part).

I& #39;ve got a look here at the doc that outlines expectations for teaching/learning...and they are MUCH more involved than what& #39;s expected right now.

Will put highlights in this thread.

One big change...teachers expected to do 3 hours of instruction per day.

And it seems some of that should be "live" -- as in video chats.

Another big one...

Students can only IMPROVE their overall grades during this virtual experiment. They can& #39;t lose ground.

Uncompleted assignments will not be given zeros, but instead be marked as exempt or "blank."

And here& #39;s a big FYI for parents...

Students are expected to participate every day -- Monday thru Friday -- to "the greatest extent possible."

BUT..."attendance will not be recorded as usual, but as a tool to track who is participating..."

Interesting note:

Philly teachers are expected to "maintain a record of all communication with students" during online learning period.

More details here on what teachers will be expected to do during their daily, 3-hour sessions. Sounds like district wants to see direct, live communication between teachers and students.
