Distance learning
(Continued from page 1)
Some parents might be at
work during the day, for in-
stance, leaving students to
study on their own.
Consider the idea of
‘summer learning loss,’ de-
fined as, “The loss of aca-
demic skills and knowledge
over the course of the long
summer holiday.” This kind
of learning loss happens ev-
ery year, as the students are
away from school for the
summer.
The goal at present is to
make sure that ‘summer
learning loss’ is not magni-
fied by these lost school days
of spring.
The district workers on
Tuesdays and Thursdays dis-
tribute the Distance Learn-
ing materials at the drop-off
sites (see page 6). The edu-
cators meanwhile engage the
students and parents as
much as possible, under the
circumstances.
For now about half of
the 509-J school district
families have home internet
access, meaning that educa-
tion platforms like ‘Google
Classroom’ are available
only to some. Others have
access to through Smart
Phones, “and that is also a
great strateg y,” Parshall
said.
Ideally, the home
internet access would be
available to all student
households. And this is a
goal in the long-term for a
district like 509-J, covering
many square miles, much of
it rural. Yet like all aspects
of society, education is be-
coming more computerized
and digital; young people es-
pecially are aware of this.
‘ ... and I believe
the district will
come through this
even stronger
than before.’
The current health cri-
sis is showing how educa-
tion may change in the not
so distant future; and the
school district is planning
to make this shift. In spite
of all challenges, “I think
there are good things that
will come from this,” Mr.
Parshall said.
“And I believe the district
will come through this even
stronger than before.”
