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 enable 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.
