Kathryn is concerned about covering content during the COVID-19 pandemic

 Is your cooperating teacher delivering lessons using a totally virtual or hybrid 

delivery model?  As you observe these lessons, what have you noticed with regard 

to the amount of time dedicated to each subject?  In essence, has your teacher been 

able to dedicate time to each of the subjects that he/she is required to teach at 

that grade level? Has he/she been devoting more time to certain subjects than to 

others?   Which subjects have been given the greatest amount of time and attention 

during this online teaching period?   Have you found that some subjects are being 

not given any attention?   Which subjects are they?    Do you feel that some/many 

children are struggling academically as a result of the delivery method they are 

receiving?   How do you think that this teaching approach will affect student 

scores when they are required to take state tests?  Why?

Faith F. has concerns about students with learning difficulties

 

Doing school online is hard for everyone, but it is especially hard on the students. They 

do not have access to everything they need to learn properly. Both general education and 

special education students are struggling during this time. Has your cooperating teacher 

done anything to help the students who are having a harder time learning the material? 

Have you seen any differentiation throughout the virtual learning experience? 

If so what are some of the strategies that you have been seeing?  

Danielle has a serious student observation requirement question

       What do you anticipate will be the hardest part about 

teaching our lessons virtually and being observed by our supervisor

 this semester?    What are you doing to get yourself ready for this 

challenge?   How are you preparing?   Are you going to teach small

groups of students or are you expected to teach the entire class?   

Jessica is concerned about the structure of online teaching

 I think that these times are very confusing for everyone, especially students, As COVID-19 cases begin to rise again would you like to see schools go fully remote? 

Presently, some schools are 1/2 remote and 1/2 in person.  Do you think that this structure is affecting children in their learning process?   In their social and emotional well being? And finally, do you think that classrooms that have a structure that allows for children to be in person and online at the same time could be better organized?  How would you restructure this type of learning environment?
