1.       Describe how you will deliver continuous learning opportunities for all students, including special student       populations.

Queen of All Saints School students in KG through eighth grade are actively participating in eLeaning activities Monday - Friday. We started eLearning on Monday, March 16 and will conclude on Wednesday, May 27. Curriculum, following the IDOE standards, is being introduced, reinforced, practiced, and applied. We have scheduled some special days that allow the students to practice their skills in innovative ways during Census Day, Creativity Day and Dia Cultural Hispano. Also, we started Free Thinking Fridays which allow students to self-direct their learning while making connections. Teachers are available from 8 am to 3 pm via email or Remind. Feedback is shared in our school information system, RenWeb and Google Classroom is viewable to students and families. Students with ISP/IEP’s are being supported via Michigan City Area Schools via video chats and telephone calls.

Students: Daily lesson plans from their teachers are available in our school information system, Renweb.  The school’s website contains the Google calendar. Communication is available from teachers via email.

Academic instruction, resources and support for eLearning is available in RenWeb. This information can be accessed by students and families at any time.

Each learner checks in daily with their classroom teacher. The teacher tracks attendance by grade level in the school information system, RenWeb. Teachers notify administration if learners are falling behind. Administration follows up with a telephone call to family to offer assistance.

9.       Describe your long-term goals to address skill gaps for the remainder of the school year.

Queen of All Saints School continues to monitor student achievement and mastery of grade-level skills. Teachers are designing and offering activities that can be adjusted for individualized instruction or learning, as needed.  The Continuous Learning Guidance Document provided by the Indiana Department of Education helps address gaps and appropriate learning for the remainder of the school year.

10.     Describe your professional development plan for continuous learning.

All teachers have a 12 month subscription to Conscious Discipline: Building Resilient Classrooms. We have been studying this social-emotional program since August, and now more than ever, the value of being mentally healthy is clear. The contents of the book and video lessons remind all that true learning (and good teaching) come from being in a healthy spot emotionally. Additionally, virtually staff meetings are offered weekly. On-line resources are shared among faculty members and via the daily memo.
