In the midst of an unordinary school year, Monmouth-Roseville Superintendent Ed Fletcher says the in-person and remote learning 2.0 has been a challenging learning experience:
“We knew that remote learning or hybrid learning 2.0 had to be different and that has proven to be a challenge for students. Some kids have thrived in remote learning who did not thrive prior to remote learning. We have some students who have thrived in in-person learning and are struggling now, so it is very individual to each individual student. The teachers have had to change their assessment practices, rely less on homework and more on formative assessments, short quick assessments, asking kids questions. In the afternoons when we have our office hours, it’s a time for teachers to reach out to individual kids and individual parents. Just trying to do whatever we can to engage kids. Making home visits, you name it, it has been on the table to try and reach kids.”
The Monmouth-Roseville Board of Education has begun the early stages of discussing how Summer School in 2021 will look.
