I’m teaching summer school at a high school, and the co-principals have asked me to focus on only 2 to 3 chapters worth (what they are calling “2-3 standards” in the eight days of summer semesters. However, they are also asking me to give kids the midterm and/or final at the end of each period, which covers 4-5 chapters each semester. My question is this: “Is it legal by California Ed code for the administration to ask me to teach less than each entire semester, yet test each whole semester?”

I’m guessing these are kids who have already taken algebra and have failed it?

I would say teach them the stuff that’s more advanced and then test for everything.

There’s no way in the world you could actually cover each section of each chapter in eight days.

It’s Integrated Math 1, but yes, they’ve already taken the course. All are remediating.

In that case I’m guessing they want you to focus on the basics, and push them to learn enough well that they’ll pass the tests, instead of trying to cover everything on a surface level. Makes sense if it’s their second time around and there’s limited time. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I teach a hybrid of face to face and virtual instruction and we have 1 hour and 10 minutes for whole group instruction. These are fifth graders. How would you use this time to maximize learning? What strategies/methods would you use for engagement and mastery?

I definitely feel like student engagement is low in the virtual realm. Any suggestions would be great.
