Remote Learning Success in Secondary School

The Secondary School tested out remote learning in six classes this morning as part of our work on being prepared in case of an emergency school closure.

Students in Grades 6, 7, 8, and 10 completed assignments and communicated with their teachers remotely in their Spanish, French, Individuals & Societies, or Language & Literature classes.  The students demonstrated excellent self-management skills, getting right to work with their learning and communications.  They did a great job staying focused and messaging with their teachers if they needed support.

Students were supervised during these remote learning lessons by members of our teaching staff.  Our teachers have been busy planning lessons and units that students can complete from home.  The Secondary faculty met with Merissa Bush, the Student Support Services Coordinator for the middle school at the International School of Bangkok, earlier this week to learn about what has been successful with their remote learning programs during their school closure.

The teachers’ and students’ feedback from today’s remote learning lessons will be used when we have our Grade 6-10 remote learning day on Monday 23 March.  More information about that remote learning day will be shared soon.  For now, just know that students can still come to school that day and that we’ll provide supervision.
