Supports for Schools in the “New Normal”
SchoolWorks is pleased to offer a suite of 100% remote services to support schools, districts, and networks that face new and unprecedented implementation and oversight challenges in the 2020-2021 school year. Contact info@schoolworks.or to find out more about any of these supports.
Remote and Hybrid Learning Improvement Tool
GAIN QUICK INSIGHT INTO EFFECTIVE PRACTICE
As schools adapt to new learning models, the barriers they face in implementing effective instruction are vastly different, and highly impacted by local context. To help schools quickly evolve their remote learning offerings to meet the unique the needs of their school community, SchoolWorks and the Institute for Strategic Leadership and Learning (INSTLL) have developed a research tool that provides fast, evidence-based insight into: (1) how teachers are implementing hybrid or remote learning strategies and (2) the impact of different strategies on student engagement and learning.
Using a comprehensive online survey, our team collects targeted input from teachers and staff in order to surface key strengths and challenges in program content and delivery. We then generate a report that provides a detailed snapshot of what teachers’ instructional delivery looks like in practice and an in-depth analysis of the current effectiveness of various specific hybrid or remote strategies on student engagement.
The survey and report are administered on a per-school basis, and may be facilitated in a sequence (2 or 3 times) to measure progress. Districts with multiple schools will also receive a summative multi-school report. Learn more.
