    We currently use Canvas not only for content but for student submissions and feedback. I think we could better prioritize student interactions. Our face to face periods are very short and take place every other day, so I think we sometimes feel rushed to get through content and don’t provide enough opportunity for students to collaborate, share their learning, and provide feedback to one another.

    The model our school is currently using is a split A/B model. What I like about this model is that the smaller number of students on campus really help us get to know students well and engage with them in a way that would not be possible if the number of students was significantly larger. I also think it provides a lot of opportunities for individualized feedback and support. I do think though some of our classes are so small, it is sometimes difficult to get good group conversation going. Our school focuses a great deal on workplace readiness and career development, so this model also provides the flexibility for our students work, participate in internships, pursue additional technical training, or even attend the community college.

    Within this model, what I would expect to see and hear is student participation in discussions, engagement in lab activities and applications of their learning, writing workshops, one-on-one conferences with teachers, and student-led activities.
