Planning a class is a big endeavor planning it out for two separate scenarios can be overwhelming for you and your students. Try to engage your students as partners in any needed adaptations, pointing out that you’ll get through any challenges together.
If you have to pivot the whole class to being remote, here is what you’ll do.If you get sick or need to isolate, here is the plan for keeping the class going.You’ve got their backs, and here are your expectations for what they need to do, and how you will help them. If they get sick or need to isolate, here is how you are going to keep them engaged in the class.Talk to your students openly about being ready for any needed adaptations. Letting them know you have a plan will likely ease their minds, knowing any instructional changes won’t be as haphazard as the spring of 2020. Various surveys of college students show that they are excited about returning to campus, but stressed about the potential of things going sideways again. The recommendations below can be instituted in a variety of situations-you being sick or needing to isolate for a week, some of your students needing to be remote for those reasons, or (less likely) the entire campus pivoting to remote instruction. (As an aside, the Keep Teaching site predates the pandemic, promoting preparedness and backup planning for years.)
#THE BACKUP PLAN HOW TO#
What we are talking about here is how to find that right level of backup planning to let you (and your students) enter the fall semester with a bit more confidence, knowing you are capable of adapting to changing situations, if needed. The Keep Teaching site has lots of information on how you can teach remotely. IU is working hard to keep the campus healthy, and we are hopeful that our semester will go smoothly, but making a backup plan for remote teaching will make any disruptions to your class less challenging for everyone. And maybe a backup to that backup plan, just in case of technology problems. If the past year has taught us anything in higher education, it’s that having a backup plan for teaching remotely is a good idea.
