HFM SAN Distance Learning Project DL Aide - Assistant Survey 2009 – 2010 School Year 6. What changes would you offer to improve the DL program? Have teachers, teachers assistants and aides use email whenever possible for any ___________________________________ correspondence in the classroom including memos regarding schedules, tests, quizzes, ___________________________________ notes, projects, etc. I believe this would eliminate missing/lost correspondence via fax. ______________________________________________________________________ It would be wonderful if everyone followed the rules given at the beginning of the ___________________________________ year. Example: i. Pods, all phones or constant chatter from staff or students. ______________________________________________________________________ Limit computer access to students during class time. The students tend to go on the ___________________________________ computers for other reasons then doing class work. ______________________________________________________________________ Each school has different period times. Universal ones would help. Also the volume is ___________________________________ usually too loud coming from the other schools and you constantly have to adjust. ___________________________________ Especially if they show a film etc. ______________________________________________________________________ Try to switch up the schedule each year. Variety is the key in the DL and it is nice to ___________________________________ try new courses. See if we could connect with a school in the capital region BOCES or ___________________________________ a different area in order to see about receiving new courses. ______________________________________________________________________ Nothing on your end. You are very professional, courteous, knowledgeable and ___________________________________ helpful. ___________________________________ BOCES Distance Learning Program . . Support Quality. Access
HFM SAN Distance Learning Project DL Aide - Assistant Survey 2009 – 2010 School Year 7. General Comments ______________________________________________________________________ Teachers should try to visit the receive sites more often. Add a sentence to the DL ___________________________________ contract about cell phones and attendance. The aide and teachers need to try and ___________________________________ watch the students better for misuse of DL equipments (student camera) putting feet ___________________________________ on desk. ______________________________________________________________________ See if someone could get the district to install air conditioning. Without AC all we have ___________________________________ is problems. ______________________________________________________________________ Much time wasted as the students easily talked the teacher into getting off topic. ______________________________________________________________________ Thank you for all of your help this year! ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ BOCES Distance Learning Program . .
