Key Decision Points

2

● Concurrent instruction

● Partial day/Full day schedule

Concurrent Instruction

3

Concurrent Instruction - is delivering instruction simultaneously for students in-person and virtually for at least part of the lesson

Systems across Maryland and the United States are using concurrent teaching.

What could concurrent instruction look like?● Virtual students join a Google Meet session to view a shared desktop and/or a

camera directed toward the teacher● In-person students are seated in appropriately spaced desks with or without

their devices● Both full group and small group instruction can occur during the class period● Both in-person and virtual students could be asked to do independent work while in

small groups


4

Benefits● Provides in-person direct instruction for students whom remote learning is not

meeting their instructional needs● Allows families to have a virtual option● Provides important in-person engagement and interaction to support the social

emotional health of students● Allows schools to maintain their master schedules

Challenges● Considerations for modes of engaging students in person and virtually● Requires implementation and adjustment as we go● Requires professional development


5

Professional Learning● Utilizes Wednesdays for teacher professional learning● Designed specifically for the model selected ● Will include:

○ opportunities for teacher collaboration○ sharing of best practices○ lessons learned○ just-in-time supports

Planning for a 4th Quarter Model

Benefits● Cohorting of students in classrooms● Limiting of transitions● Brings students back into buildings

Challenges● Logistical challenges for families● Less than a half day of face to face instruction● Travel time interrupts instructional day
