Alright, this is my last #bcpoli#bced#covid#backtoschool thread before I get down to working full time designing learning for my students. It’s story time.
We’ve been invited by @rob_fleming and @jjhorgan to a party. They’ve had some challenges lately and money is tight, but feel they have to throw this party anyways. /2

Hey #bced with @Rob_Fleming citing class averages as evidence that there isn't as big an issue as teachers say, we need to understand some enrolment management averages and why the stat seems so different than the experience of teachers. /1

BC definitely has some small classes. This is most often found in small towns. But also specialized programs like those for kids who are at risk of not graduating or who have high needs. /2

Let’s unpack the #bced#COVID19 plan, it's resources and what this means in classrooms from my perspective as a teacher.
Off the top, I’d say there are likely no great options here. I don’t envy decision makers their roles.
Come with me on a #teacher thread!

Dr. Henry and @bcndp believe the risk is low enough to move away from providing space (small class size) to social distance in & towards creating manageable clusters in the event of an outbreak.
