The school is located in downtown Los Angeles. The school is currently 1:1, meaning on Chromebook laptop per child. The classes follow a "blended learning" model, which has even led experienced educators to give me confused looks. This summer has been a process of trying to wrap my head around what that means, and what it looks like in a secondary 1:1 environment. This video might help:
What this will probably look like in my classroom: Student walks in. Student opens up laptop and logs onto knowledge management system (more on this later). Student completes "Do Now", which is a mix of foundational skills and the previous lesson's material. Based on their performance, they will be arranged into groups for remediation, review, or they will move on to an online lesson constructed by yours truly. They will eventually log on to an online curriculum source that will give them the feedback, error correction, and practice they need. Eventually they will progress to group work where they will be asked to apply the concepts to some sort of performance task or writing task.
What will I be doing? Probably working with the groups who got the "Do Now" wrong for the majority of the time. I think. This will probably change quite a bit throughout the year.
