HOT TOPICS

Calamity Day Makeup Reminder Ohio Revised Code Section 3313.482 permits boards of education to adopt plans under which online lessons or “blizzard bags” may be utilized to replace the equivalent of up to three days of classroom instruction. However, the resolution and plan for this alternative must be adopted by the board of education prior to August 1 of each school year. The board is no longer required to file the plan with the Ohio Department of Education, but the plan must include the written consent of the teachers’ employee representative. A template of the resolution and plan are available here. If you have questions, please contact BASA. Smart Education Networks by Design The Consortium for School Networking (CoSN) and its Ohio state chapter organization, Learn 21, are pleased to continue to support the work of current and aspiring superintendents and district leadership teams in leading all aspects of digital learning transformations. Last month CoSN shared with BASA members information on planning and implementing the strategies required to successfully administer online assessments. This month we focus on the essentials required for dealing with the rapid pace of change in the demands and uses of digital tools across all aspects of teaching and learning, both within school buildings and beyond.

University of Dayton/BASA Superintendent Licensure Program Cohort - Class Schedule 2018-2019

University of Dayton Department of Educational Administration Principles of academic practice form the structure of all EDA programs aligned with these professional standards. First, the pedagogical goals for you and all students in EDA include planned growth in your knowledge, performance, and dispositions, the constructs of our professional affiliation with ELCC. Second, a “knowledge” base of effective school leadership exists and is the foundation of what you as a potential school leader need to master to be effective in producing improved student learning outcomes. “Performance” is defined by ELCC as those proficiencies in subject, professional and pedagogical knowledge, skills, and dispositions that benefit student learning. “Performance” is also described as related to the quality of institutional practice, in addition to individual practice. “Dispositions” are defined as those values, commitments, and professional ethics that influence your behaviors toward students, families, colleagues, and communities and affect student learning. These principles include a heavy emphasis on pedagogy that is practice-related, problem- based, i.e., “field” related. In EDA courses you will be continually engaged in building your knowledge - knowledge that is based in research and applied to practice in real schools. Throughout each EDA program, you will apply sound leadership knowledge to problems of contemporary PK-12 public , Catholic and other non-public schools.

RESOLUTION ADOPTING A CALAMITY DAY ALTERNATIVE MAKE-UP PLAN

WHEREAS, the ____________________ board of education desires that students have learning opportunities even when schools are closed for any of the reasons specified in section 3313.482 of the Ohio Revised Code; and

WHEREAS, section 3313.482 authorizes a board of education to adopt a resolution by August 1 of each year to provide online learning opportunities for students in lieu of attendance on such days of closure;

NOW THEREFORE BE IT, AND IT IS, HEREBY RESOLVED that the __________________ board of education hereby approves the following plan.

PLAN FOR ALTERNATIVE MAKE-UP OF CALAMITY DAYS Pursuant to Ohio Revised Code section 3313.482, the board of education of _______________________ hereby authorizes the following plan to allow students of the district to access and complete classroom lessons in order to fulfill up to a maximum of the number of hours that are the equivalent of three school days because of the closing of schools for any of the reasons specified in section 3313.482.

1) This plan is adopted, pursuant to approval of the board of education, prior to August 1.

2) This plan includes the written consent of the teachers’ employee representative as designated under division (B) of section 4117.04. Such consent is on file in the official file of the board of education and is hereby incorporated into this plan as if specifically rewritten. 3) Not later than November 1 of the 20__-20__ school year, each classroom teacher shall develop a sufficient number of lessons for each course taught by that teacher with such lessons requiring, in the judgment of the teacher, an amount of time equal to or greater than the number of hours that are the equivalent of three school days in such teacher’s class.

4) The teacher shall designate the order in which the lessons are to be posted on the district’s web portal or web site.

5) (Optional) Teachers will be granted one professional development day after the teacher’s principal or supervisor certifies that lessons equal to approximately the number of hours that are the equivalent of three school days have been posted.

6) Teachers will update or replace such lessons as necessary throughout the school year based on the instructional progress of students.

7) As soon as practicable after an announced school closure authorized under section 3313.482, the appropriate administrator may direct staff to make the designated lessons available on the district’s portal or site. Each lesson shall be posted for each course that was scheduled to meet on the day of the school closing.

8) Each student enrolled in a course for which a lesson is posted shall be granted a two-week period from the date of posting to complete the lesson. If the student does not complete the lesson within this time period, the student will receive an incomplete or failing grade unless a reason sufficient to the teacher is provided. 9) Students without access to a computer shall be permitted to complete the posted lessons at school after the reopening of school. Students utilizing this option will be granted two weeks from the date of reopening to complete such lessons. If the student does not complete the lesson within this time period, the student will receive an incomplete or failing grade unless a reason sufficient to the teacher is provided. The district will provide access to district computers before, during, or after the school day (provided that the equipment is available and accessible at those times) or may provide a substantially similar paper lesson in order for students to complete the assignments. 10) (Optional) The board of education hereby authorizes “blizzard bags,” which are paper copies of the lessons posted online. Teachers shall prepare paper copies approximating the content of the online lessons and shall update such paper copies when updating any of the online lessons. “Blizzard bags” shall be distributed to all students by not later than December 1 of the school year or such other date as may be selected by the superintendent. Students shall submit completed lessons to the teachers assigning such lessons not later than two weeks after the date of school closing for which the “blizzard bag” lessons are assigned.

In witness thereof, we hereby affix our signatures on this _______ day of __________________, 20__.
