EES Non-Traditional Instruction NTI) Information Sheet Text
This plan outlines how instruction will be delivered for ALL students during a day when school is not open due to unforeseen circumstances. The plan allows for both digital and hard copy content to be available for students on Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI) days. The planned result is less loss of instructional time and increased ability to learn new content when school is back in session.
All work students will be asked to do should be work that they can complete on their own. The expectation is not for our caregivers to step into the role of teacher. Staff will be available to support students on each Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI) day (see Staff Availability below).
What is a Non-Traditional Instructional Day?
Delivery: Both digital and hard copy content will be available for students.
When: Non-Traditional Instruction will be implemented for the remainder of the school year.
Content: Information on Non-Traditional Instruction and accessing assignments will be available through the Erlanger-Elsmere Schools Website district and each school website beginning March 18, 2020.
Hard copy assignments will also be made available for pick up from each school - consult each school's Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI) webpage or call the school for scheduled pickup time/s and date/s. More information can be found at the EES Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI) webpage on March 18.
Student Accountability: Students will be required to complete all tasks assigned during a Non-Traditional Instruction day. Extended time will be available for those circumstances whereby the work could not be completed due to extenuating circumstances.
Staff Availability: School personnel will be available for student support from the hours of 10 AM to 2 PM beginning Wednesday, March 18, 2020. Caregivers or students can also email or call the school and leave a message with the teacher, counselor, or principal.
