OLMC Distance Learning Guide The purpose of this OLMC Distance Learning Guide is to:

• create a distance learning plan that will be effective and efficient for Students, Parents & Caregivers, and Faculty & Staff,

• for Faculty to efficiently communicate daily learning plans, longer-term lesson plans, and content delivery,

• for Students to receive effective distance learning through direct instruction and classroom interaction,

• for Students to efficiently submit schoolwork and assessments for teacher evaluation and grading, and

• for Parents & Caregivers to have confidence that their child is engaged during the school day, learning with purpose, and connected to their beloved teachers and classmates despite this most unusual time in our lives.

On March 10th, we all – students, parents, caregivers, faculty, staff and administration – had 24 hours’ notice to develop a distance learning plan. In phase #1, the OMC Administration and Faculty delivered instruction, ensured that all had ample access to WiFi and technology devices, and listened to important feedback. This OLMC Distance Learning Guide is our best effort to move into phase #2. I am sure that together we will continue to learn and have updated versions of this OLMC Distance Learning Guide, nonetheless, let’s move ahead together! This OLMC Distance Learning Guide is rooted in a few shared values:

• Sometimes less is more. Given that parents are now in a stressful situation having to juggle working at home, while also supervising their children’s learning, the OLMC Faculty understand that less can be more.

• Faculty will deliver content daily to ensure that students and parents don’t feel overwhelmed.

• Creativity will be valued! • We will base student learning on synchronous and asynchronous learning. Synchronous

means that students need to be online at the same time, while asynchronous learning – students are not required to be online at the same time – offers flexibility for both student and parent schedules.

• Distance learning encourages all to prioritize and standardize as a way to KISS: keep it simple silly!

• We want to honor the importance of mental– and physical – health at this time.

The bright side of all this: each student is learning vital skills for their future! Distance learning will be used in our students’ high school, university, and professional lives. Becoming more independent for their own learning is an invaluable skill!
