Current Situation:
Due to the present pandemic, students who are on (long term) medical leave / approved absence etc may be absent from school for up to 5 days or more and hence miss a lot of curriculum time.
Improvement:
A (form) class zoom meeting ID can be set up. The absent student can join this meeting and attend lessons for the whole day from wherever she is. This student will then not miss too many lessons. A device can be set up facing the white board. Students seated at the front centre can be taught to man the ipad Eg admitting the absent classmate into the meeting, safekeeping the device during breaks, returning the device to the FT at the end of the day. The FT can start the zoom meeting for the whole day and the absent student(s) can join the meeting and is able to see, hear and follow the lessons for the day. The device can also be brought to the various venues that the lesson is conducted at. Subject Teachers do not need to bring a device to set up the zoom meeting at the start of his/her lesson. The absent child also does not need to remember different meeting IDs and passcodes for different subjects. This is currently being done on a daily basis in 211 for a student on long term MC. In this way, this child was able to attend all lessons despite being absent since day 1.
