Offer courses that are primarily experiential/"hands on" only in-person, which includes many Technology and Physical & Health Education courses.Virtual Learning students may be taught by a teacher from another TDSB secondary school as students are shared across schools in a simultaneous and/or fully virtual class. Form "hubs" with other schools, where possible.TOPS, MAST, IB, AP, Extended French and French Immersion, etc.) where a viable cohort of virtual learners in the school exists Offer courses virtually in specialized programming (e.g.All Grade 9 students would take Art as their optional course rather than choose between Visual Arts, Drama, or Music.) Reduce optional course offerings at grade 9 and 10 where most of the program consists of compulsory courses (e.g.If a student is already learning virtually and does not have a device with a camera and mic, they can speak with their Principal or Vice-Principal to request an appropriate device.įor Semester 2, to minimize the use of simultaneous learning, schools will be allowed to: If a student does not have a device with a camera and mic, please indicate that a device is needed on the Switch Form. Students can speak with a guidance counsellor, Vice-Principal or Principal if there are concerns. By having cameras on, we will build human connection with one another which supports learning and a strong sense of community. Zoom Backgrounds are available to students for privacy. Students learning virtually in Semester 2 are expected to have their cameras on during class time. Student engagement is enhanced when students see one another as they interact with their teacher and peers. We are encouraged that vaccinations in this age group continue to increase and overall the rate is high. We look forward to welcoming students back in-person as much as possible as we return to a regular semester 2. Most families selected In-Person Learning for the 2021-22 school year. While we cannot guarantee that all requests for a switch can be met, it is our goal to accommodate as many as possible based on available programs and space (e.g., French Immersion, Extended French, Specialized Programs, Alternative Schools, other limited circumstances).Īccording to TDSB survey results, we know that the majority of students prefer In-Person Learning because that is where they learn best. Families and students who do not wish to make a change do not need to complete a form. A form must be completed for each student requesting a switch. In order to plan ahead for students to switch between in-person and virtual learning for Semester Two beginning February 3, 2022, families and students requesting a change must complete a Switch Form between November 29 and December 6.
