HYDE LEADERSHIP CHARTER SCHOOL VIRTUAL LEARNING PLAN
HYDE’S 2020 VIRTUAL LEARNING PLAN
————————————————–—————
What follows are Hyde's complete plans for virtual learning during the spring of 2020.
Needless to say, we are continuously developing our programs and the supporting
technology as we learn from our experience.
During this time of “social distancing,” Hyde continues to stay in touch with students
and families every day. We keep daily attendance and maintain daily contact with
students and families. We are proud of the fact that our virtual learning attendance is as
strong as our “regular” school attendance. We see this level of student engagement as
an endorsement of our teachers' virtual programs as well as a reminder of how
important the school is as a stabilizing force in the social and emotional lives of our
students, especially during a time of trial and uncertainty.
As a K-12 college preparatory school, Hyde serves a wide spectrum of developmental
stages- from four-years-olds to eighteen-years-olds, to college students and beyond.
We have compiled separate plans for each division: K-3, our elementary school; 4-8,
our middle school; and 9-12, our high school and post-secondary success program.
Several themes unify all three virtual learning plans: character development signature
programs, individualized support for students with special needs, and a blending of
asynchronous and synchronous instruction. All three divisions have online tools, with
grades 2nd-12th utilizing Chromebooks and Google Classroom as the main tool/
platform (many others mentioned in the documents). We continue to troubleshoot the
needs of students and staff and are pleased with the degree of engagement our
students are experiencing.
The new formats and modes of learning available through our virtual learning programs
have unleashed opportunities for students to discover their talents and interests and
provide innovative ways for individualized instruction and personalized learning. While
we badly miss being in the school buildings with everyone else, we are learning so
much as we make adjustments, rise to new challenges, and get more and more out of
our technology tools to share, to grow, and to learn.
Sincerely,
Thomas Sturtevant, Executive Director

VIRTUAL LEARNING PLAN
————————————————
Hyde’s elementary school is a place of joy
and an excitement for learning. Our
transition to a virtual learning program
continues this focus as we offer students
our inclusive program where all learners
feel safe, nurtured, and challenged. Our
staff will continue to embrace the
uniqueness of each child as they develop
their character, grow academically, and
tend to their social-emotional well-being. We view the shift to virtual learning as an
opportunity to engage with students in new and innovative ways.
The elementary school virtual learning plan follows an asynchronous learning model.
We feel strongly that this student-centered approach to learning offers our students
and families the flexibility they need during our time online. Teachers post lessons in a
variety of subjects to the online classrooms and students complete those lessons at
their own pace throughout the day. Teachers also schedule virtual face-to-face
check-ins with students each week.

VIRTUAL LEARNING PLAN
————————————————
Hyde’s middle school virtual learning
program continues to inspire children
toward academic achievement and
excellent character. Our move to a virtual
model continues to promote student-
centered learning, rigorous instruction, and
the cultivation of strong trusting
relationships with all members of our
learning community. We are committed to engaging students in critical thought and
dialogue. We view the shift to remote learning as an opportunity to engage with
students in new and innovative ways. Online assignments ensures students meet
standards and objectives outlined in curriculum maps in order to maintain course
pacing.
The middle school program follows a synchronous learning model. Teachers and
students will engage daily through live instruction and weekly through student
conferencing. All live lessons are recorded and can be accessed by students at
anytime. We believe this model provides middle school students with a structured
approach during this transition.

Comply with Hyde’s Internet Acceptable Use Policy.
TEACHERS
Teachers are required to spend 8 hours per day engaged in online teaching
(including direct instruction, grading, conferencing with students, contacting
students via phone/email, etc.).
All lessons, learning activities, materials, and assignments are posted by 8:00 am
on the designated day(s) for specific courses.
All assignments will be due by 11:59 pm on the due date. We will follow our 10-day
policy regarding late assignments.
Feedback will be provided to all students on all coursework by 4:00 pm of the
following day for students’ review.
The scope of work completed by teachers on a daily basis will vary by individual,
however, it is our expectation that teachers are actively online and instructing
during designated times (based on the online schedule) and that teachers are
conducting and tracking conferences, grading, providing feedback, planning
upcoming lessons, etc. during all other days.
Teachers/co-teachers will identify a 2 hour block of time to call home to address
missing assignments. This 2 hour block should not conflict with faculty meeting
times. All calls should be tracked in the communication tracker for online school.
Weekly co-planning and department meetings will occur remotely and be
scheduled by co-teachers and instructional leads. Faculty meetings will also occur
remotely and will be held from 3:00-4:30pm on Tuesdays and 1:15-3:30pm on
Fridays.
All assignments must be graded and entered into Gradebook. We maintain the
same expectations for gradebooks in terms of numbers of assignments as we
would if we were not remote.
Maintain an accurate record of all interactions with students, including whole class
and small group lessons, phone calls, video conferences, emails, etc.
All mini-lessons should be recorded and uploaded.
Office Hours are determined by teachers and are added to teacher schedules by
individual teachers once approved by direct instructional leads. This information
must be readily accessible to students.

English Language Learners: Our ENL teachers provide additional support to
our ELLs by supporting students with classwork through providing adaptations and
monitoring and responding to student work. ENL teachers also conference with
students 1:1 and provide additional lessons and activities targeting reading, writing,
listening and speaking skills. We’ve also paired our “Entering” and “Emerging”
students for additional support once a week with an ENL teacher in which they will
receive direct instruction for an ENL teacher, where one week they target speaking
and listening, and the next week reading and writing.
In 4th grade, there is an ENL teacher in all periods of English Language
Arts, in addition to Reading Intervention periods.
In 5th grade, there is an ENL teacher in all ELA Intervention periods.
In 6th-8th grade, students receive ENL support through their math periods.
Reading and Math Intervention: Our intervention teachers provide additional
lessons and activities that are targeted to students receiving intervention. They
also meet virtually with students via video or phone to conference with students on
targeted skills. 4th grade students will receive 60 minutes each of ELA and math.

————————————————————————————————
In ELA Intervention, students receive the tiered level of intervention needed based on
their reading level. For students that require tier 3 intervention, they will work on
System 44 through the instructional software. Those that require tier 2 will work on
Read 180’s instructional software (at a scaffolded level) and those that are Tier 1 will
be challenged by being placed in Level 5 of the instructional software, helping them
expand their literacy skills. Both softwares (Read 180 and System 44) include a variety
of zones for kids to explore in which they learn, practice and ultimately assess different
areas of literacy (Reading, Writing, Speaking, Listening). In addition, teachers conduct
reading conferences with students, as students are expected to read independently for
20 minutes a day. They will complete interactive reading logs, via Google Classroom,
and have a wide selection of books to read from (digitally) via Read 180.
Counseling Services: Students receive their mandated and/or at-risk
counseling through online platforms. Both the 4-6th grade counselor and 7-8th
grade counselor will implement character education and social emotional learning
activities on a weekly basis. All mandated and at risk counseling sessions are held
via Google Video Hangouts. Counselors also have office hours for students to
“drop in”. Session notes for mandated students are recorded in SESIS and At Risk
notes will be recorded via the standard google form. Counselors will continue
ongoing communication with administrative and teaching staff members.
Counselors attend grade level meetings in order to stay connected to the teaching
teams and to ascertain information regarding concerns relative to student
behaviors, attendance, socio-emotional or academic struggles. Counselors then
follow up with students and/or families as necessary. Both counselors will continue
attending IEP meetings via teleconference.
Counseling Curricular Programs: Hyde has partnered with non-profit, Kid Grit,
to provide our middle school students with a holistic approach combining
mindfulness, social emotional learning, youth development and character building.
Kid Grit works with students to build the necessary life skills in areas such as stress
and anxiety management, self-control, increased productivity, and improved
attention span in academic classes, sports and the arts. Additionally, we have a
partnership with a national non-profit organization, Ruling Our Experiences (ROX)
which has helped boost the confidence of our middle school girls by providing them
with the tools and resources to tackle challenges head on. Each year, 48 girls
between the 6th and 7th grade are provided the opportunity to be part of the ROX
Program. All 48 girls will continue to receive their ROX Lessons and receive
ongoing support from their counselor through virtual meetings.
High School Articulation: During remote learning we continue to provide
support to our 8th grade students and families as they complete the high school
articulation process. The 8th grade counselor is tracking all high school applications
and communicates with all 8th grade families via phone regarding their progress,
decisions, etc.
SPRING BREAK
From April 9th to 17th, middle school students will engage in the following
opportunities:
Independent project-based activities for students to take on as an extension
of class work.
Scheduled time to connect “live” with faculty.
Virtual games & puzzles.
Resources and best practices to explore how to stay physically and
emotionally heathy.

English Language Learners: Our mission, alongside State guidelines around
English Language Learners, is to continue providing services considering their
language proficiency and entitled minutes of service. We aim to support as well as
challenge their growth as learners of the English Language. It is, therefore,
imperative that we collaboratively find the best way possible in which we can
continue to provide services. To that end, below find the guidelines and directives
we are providing to ensure that continuity of services remains.
Engage in weekly collaboration/planning meetings with GenEd teachers to
ensure lessons/activities/assessments are accessible, yet challenging for all
ELLs within the class.
In these meetings, timelines for submission of assignments that may present
processing challenges should be considered. It is also important to note the
method of submission considering a Universal Design for Learning.
Differentiate/modify material considering the student’s language proficiency,
abilities and challenges in the target language. Make these materials
available to the individual student (or small group of students) via Google
Classroom.
Teacher modeling and exemplars uploaded on Google Classroom as
supplemental materials that can be send to/shared with an individual student
or small group of students on Google Classroom.
Ongoing communication, individualized instruction and follow-up with our
ELLs via Google Chat, email, or phone from our team is vital for their
success.
