We moved to distance/online learning last spring, but opened this school year live in the building, physically distanced, with a remote option that about 7 percent of our students are engaging, says Douglas Brophy, GRD’06, head of school at The Town School. We are continuing to monitor the virus’s trajectory closely and carefully, and would revert back to full distance learning if needed. Since June, we have held online listening sessions for all constituents: students, fa...culty and staff, parents, and alumni/ae. The sessions use protocols, through a series of prompts, encouraging participants to share experiences and perspectives on racial/racist experiences both in and out of our school. We have been anonymously recording the feedback, which will inform our ongoing work around equity, inclusion, and anti-racism. When we moved to online education last spring, we learned that we need to change three things: include more virtual live experiences, so students could interact with one another and their teachers more frequently; create more small-group experiences, allowing for more participation; and have the days mirror as much as possible a typical school day, thereby creating a familiar structure. Penn GSE welcomes news of how our alumni are addressing current crises as educators and leaders. Share your work with us: https://bit.ly/penngse-alumni-stories Penn Alumni
In an interview with the National Writing Project, Penn GSE alum Robert Rivera-Amezola, a digital literacy teacher at the Francis Scott Key School in the School District of Philadelphia and teacher-consultant with the Philadelphia Writing Project at the University of Pennsylvania, discusses insights that came from watching students chat with each other online during non-teacher directed time. Over the course of the interview, Rivera-Amezola describes working with his students on a quarantine journal and speculates about how teachers might better consider ways to connect with families during learning-from-home time. https://youtu.be/oUIgHEYGqYk
