With remote learning set to resume on Monday, Aug. 17, teachers who will be instructing students from their classrooms have already begun remote preparations for conducting online classes.
Guilford County Schools will have approximately 73,000 students returning to school via remote learning or virtual academies, WFMY CBS 2 News reported on Aug. 10.
While teachers return to the school year with a few lessons from a spring spent trying to cobble together remote learning solutions with little warning, some expect that this new phase in the COVID-19 response will be very different, WFMY 2 reported.
For one, students won’t receive a “complete” or “incomplete” grade in the fall as they did in the spring, WFMY 2 reported. Instead, they will have normal grades and a GPA.
"I just keep hearing over and over in my mind, patience, on the part of everybody involved," Michelle Harris-Jefferson, a social studies teacher at Kiser Middle School, told WFMY 2. "This process, even though we were kind of thrown into it in the spring, this is going to be very very different going into the fall.”
