SCUSD Imposes a Plan for Distance Learning - Lets see what teachers do !



 The Sacramento City Unified School District adopted a distance learning plan Saturday after starting the school year two days before without one. The teachers union says its teachers will not follow the plan.
The two groups have been working for weeks to determine how much time teachers will spend in direct instruction via video conference calls and how much time students will be asked to learn asynchronously, or independently
The district decided to move forward without an agreement with the union. The plan is the same originally set forth less than a week ago on Aug. 30
The district is calling for more time spent in synchronous instruction and less time doing independent work. Although both plans meet state education requirements, SCTA’s relies more on independent study in favor of face-to-face screen time. 
The Sacramento Bee has an editorial on the impass. 
Administrators do not teach., Teachers do.  Lets see what happens next.
