Digital Learning Plan 3-5: The 3-5 Virtual Learning platform will be serviced through the Tri-Region Virtual Plan and Crowley's Ridge Educational Coop. TRVP will primarily be a synchronous model for 3-5 core instruction. The synchronous model will allow for daily structured learning, increased interaction, and direct instruction for virtual students. This model will also allow for improved student-teacher relationships and targeted learning for all students. An asynchronous option will be made available to students with extenuating circumstances and at the discretion of participating districts. The virtual lessons will be made available to asynchronous students on a weekly basis. Teachers are expected to upload all resources and materials at least one day prior to the virtual lessons. Teachers will teach daily virtual lessons for core instruction for students in the synchronous environment. Virtual lessons will be recorded so students can revisit the lessons for a refresher, or if the student missed a virtual lesson.  Requirements for the Science of Reading will be ensured by embedding and supplementing into the curriculum a DESE-approved core literacy program that effectively addresses phonological awareness, phonics, vocabulary, comprehension, and fluency.   Teachers will interact with synchronous students daily and will remind students to attend virtual lessons, pull small groups, and/or work 1:1.  These requests will be based on student needs identified by robust grading practices. Teachers will routinely monitor asynchronous students’ engagement and academic progress throughout the week and regularly interact with those students via videos, electronic communications, and other means available.  Teachers will be available for additional support during their office hours so that synchronous and asynchronous students (and their parents/caregivers) can communicate with the teachers as the need arises. Turnaround time for responses from teachers is a maximum of one business day.  All teachers will have daily designated office time for support. Regular attendance to the virtual lessons is crucial to the academic growth of the students; therefore, it is expected that students will attend and complete 178 days of instructional content. Days missed due to illness or other events will be made up through small group instruction, asynchronous lesson review, or other methods deemed to be in the best interest of the student. If additional time or support is needed, the student and/or caregiver should contact the teacher during his or her office hours Asynchronous students are expected to follow the policy set by their districts regarding the standards for completion of work in a timely manner. All students have a variety of options for connecting synchronously with our teachers--email, office hours, etc.  Students also have their teachers’ phone numbers.
Wynne High School and Junior High School Virtual Arkansas (6-12): Virtual Arkansas provides a fully certified Arkansas teacher of record while we provide the facilitator.  Virtual Arkansas provides training and support for facilitators via the Facilitator Coordinator. This model is a true blended model with synchronous targeted instruction partnered with asynchronous course content and activities.  Wynne High School and Junior both have a certified teacher that will be designated to overseeing students enrolled in this academy as well as working with students on interventions as needed. Virtual Arkansas is a “high touch” virtual learning experience that harnesses the benefit of synchronous or “live” instruction married with aligned asynchronous courses. This allows for students and instructors to develop relationships, address needed “just-in-time” instruction, and flexibility with learning. Students are provided the opportunity to attend two Zoom sessions per week, per content area, and request additional one:one Zoom sessions as needed. While Zoom sessions are not required, they are highly encouraged as empirical data has shown students who attend Zoom are shown to be more successful than students who do not attend Zoom.  Students/teachers are also able to communicate 24/7 via the CANVAS LMS messaging or the SIS email system that is monitored by Virtual Arkansas. For students utilizing Virtual Arkansas courses, teachers actively monitor their courses, provide synchronous sessions and maintain regular communication via the LMS and SIS messaging systems. Each week teachers send a grade report to the student and parent/guardian, and initiate further contact with students demonstrating difficulties with course content. Students are highly encouraged but not required to attend all Zoom sessions. Teachers are continuously provided PD and support for providing engaging and relevant synchronous instruction. Teachers are expected to reply to students within 24 hours of a student communication during the school week. Students are expected to read and interact with messages in their courses on a daily basis during the school week. All students will be informed and included invited to participate in all field trips, academic competitions, and other special enrichment functions that occur in the brick and mortar.
