BF Homes School will be delivering lessons both online and onsite. We will be using a hybrid mode of teaching. Through the use of textbooks and our LMS, both Synchronous and Asynchronous learning will be adopted.
A hybrid approach to teaching combines face-to-face classroom instruction with online activities. This approach reduces the amount of seat time in a traditional face-to-face course and moves some of the course delivery online. During classroom instruction time, students can be engaged in authentic, collaborative learning experiences. The online classes will be conducted through our LMS, Schoology.
Synchronous learning refers to delivery of lessons to a group of students at the same time, usually done in the classroom or via Video Conference.
Asynchronous learning is each student studying on his/her own time (i.e. watching video or reading books not with the class).
Online Parent-Teacher conference are done after every quarter, or whenever a parent or teacher requests it. It will be done at the schedule best for most participants.
If any of the parents are not available for group conferences, they can be given a copy of the video or have another schedule with the teacher(s) involved – at their available time.
The answer varies from child to child. Although we can say that maturity plays a big role on whether a child can learn online independently, we suggest the following for the parents:
* Preschool to Grade 1 pupils – should be assisted in the whole duration of the online learning.
* Grade 2 and Grade 3 pupils – parents should try to test if their child can learn on their own. Let them control the classes with your supervision. Do not leave them during the classes.
* Grade 4 to Grade 6 pupils – parents should guide the children by reading the lesson objectives to them and make them explain it in their own words. Tell them what output is expected of them and make them repeat it in their own understanding. Their work should be checked every once in a while.
* Grade 7 above – capable to study independently but it is natural for the children to stray from their online classes if they are not supervised. Make them read the lesson objectives on their own and check if their understanding is correct. Check if they understand what they need to do and what output is expected of them. Check if the expected outputs are completed and submitted.
Aside from electronic learning materials, the school will also be providing textbooks to its students. This will allow students to study their lessons offline and without the use of any gadget. This also gives them the opportunity to enhance their writing skills. Online classes will be recorded and will be accessible to the respective students as necessary which can be downloaded and viewed when the gadgets are available.
We will make it a point that all online classes will be recorded and will be accessible to the respective students as necessary. These can be downloaded and viewed at a later time.
