One of the most con- spicuous terms in the update is “Comprehen- sive Distance Learn- ing” (CDL), a pub- lic health-conscious approach to education which the Oregon De- partment of Education (ODE) defines as in- cluding the core values of care, connection and continuity of learning. “When we’re in Com- prehensive Distance Learning, that means that all students are at home receiving instruc- tions — mostly online,” said Curtis. “But for the students that don’t have access to online, we’re using some of the other methods that we used in the spring for distance learning.” Spring methods in- cluded solutions such as phone calls and the distribution of packets, though Curtis pointed out that there is a signif- icant difference between CDL and methods used when schools were still adapting to a rapidly shifting public health environment. “In terms of teaching, kids will be getting new lessons and they will be making progress on the grade-level standards for the new grade-lev- el year,” she said. “The teachers are really fo- cused on high-quality, rigorous, moving-for- ward learning. In the spring, we were told to mostly focus on care and connection and to not worry about for- ward progress.

Still, cur- ricula have yet to be pro- duced and the district’s planning team is looking into how to create con- tent. “A lot of the con- tent can be pulled from online, so it’s not like they’re creating every single thing, but it’s chal- lenging,” said Curtis. The district’s planning team of more than 70 people is mostly made up of teachers and in- cludes members of the South Lane Education Association (SLEA), which represents the certified employees of SLSD. “Right now, it’s very collaborative,” said Curtis. “We’re all in agreement with how we should roll out. Of course, there are still lots of questions.” So far, responses to the new plans have been positive. “Teachers recognize the safety risks but we also want to do every- thing possible to sup- port our students,” read a statement from SLEA. “We are actively plan- ning and discussing the best course of action and paying attention to the data.” mid-October if public health conditions allow. While the district awaits clarification on what exactly CDL will look like, Governor Kate Brown released new state and county metrics on Tuesday to guide school district decisions about when it is safe to resume in-person instruction. “The metrics released today will give our public schools, private schools and communities the opportunity to make sound decisions based on the latest science and health data,” said Gov. Brown in a press release.

Published weekly in the Cottage Grove Sentinel and online at cgsentinel.com mfringer@cgsentinel.com The school district’s current timeline returns teachers to work on Sept. 1 to begin preparation under the CDL model. Staff will then connect with families and take feedback while offering support to ensure stu- dents’ return to school is relatively seamless. “We realize that there’s a huge spread in whether parents are going to have time, if kids have ac- cess and if they can even manage it depending on their work and home life schedule,” said Curtis. “We know there are just a number of challenges for families.” All students are sched- uled to start classes un- der the new CDL format on Sept. 21. Following this initial opening and when con- ditions allow, the district is also looking at getting students physically back in the buildings in a staggered return. If all goes according to plan, students will slow- ly return to school build- ings in small groups either on a schedule of Monday and Tuesday or Thursday and Fri- day. Wednesdays will be reserved as a distance learning day for all stu- dents, but with multiple opportunities for con- nections and supports.
