How is WC Cyber difgerent than Emergency Remote Learning? The WC Cyber Program is part of the WCASD Strategic Plan and has been in development for quite a while. This extensive planning has enabled the district to build a strong foundation that includes teachers who have applied to be part of the program. These teachers have received extensive professional development, specific to teaching in a cyber environment.
What if we have another Extended Emergency Closure? In the event of another extended closure, students in the cyber program will remain in their cyber classes, undisturbed by the need to close our buildings. Students who are in our buildings will need to transition to online learning as well, rostered in their existing classes with current teachers and peers. As compared to the Spring 2020 Closure, our students will experience more synchronous learning, with higher expectations. Teachers will continue their instruction and meet all curricular expectations and students will receive grades.
Will I be able to transition back to my building during the year? YES! While we would like families to commit to the WC Cyber Program for one year, we know that these are not normal times. Because of that, if / when you are ready to return to your building we will be able to transition you back to your building. We would aim to do this at a natural point, such as a marking period transitions or vacations.
Students with an IEP What will services look like? Elementary - Most direct instruction and related services will be provided at the building. Secondary - For most areas, we will be able to provide direct instruction in either the cyber environment or brick and mortar. Related services will be provided in the brick and mortar building. The IEP Team will need to convene to determine how each child’s needs can best be met. Scan the QR code or use this link to submit any questions: https://bit.ly/WCPSCyber
