Remote Learning at CHC

Cape Henry Collegiate strives to maintain the expectations and momentum of learning in each grade level and class during remote instruction. Teaching and learning goals are focused around maintaining connectivity between teachers and students in an academic environment as well as ensuring progress is made around content area knowledge and skills while also being mindful of screen time. To that end, the CHC remote learning plan consists of both synchronous and asynchronous teaching and learning expectations.

Synchronous Learning refers to a learning event in which a group of students are engaging in learning at the same time (face to face learning). This is where direct instruction occurs and where students have the opportunity to connect in a learning environment with the teacher and other students. The goal of the synchronous learning block is to engage students with the content and skills as well as with one another. This time may also be used to establish expectations around asynchronous learning periods.

Asynchronous Learning allows students to complete work on their own time. Students are given a timeframe to complete work and the teacher may also set expectations for students to connect to their class at least once or twice. Asynchronous learning also plays a critical role in the progress and success of students.

    • Each lesson will include some level of the following:
      • Time to check in, take attendance, and connect: How are students doing?
      • Time dedicated to the daily lesson: How are students maintaining the momentum of learning?
      • Opportunity to practice: How are students applying what is being shared?
      • Opportunity for feedback: How are students progressing?
    Things to Keep in Mind:
    • Perfection is not expected, but your best effort to participate is. This is what will help to keep us connected and keep learning moving forward. Positive participation is important!
    • In a Remote Learning situation, you can make a plan, but that plan is likely to change. Flexibility is paramount. Thank you in advance for the flexibility of our parents, students, and faculty!
    • Although we may not be on campus together, your teachers are here to help you. Reach out to them when needed and don’t be afraid to ask for help.
