Facing the implementation of new curriculum, and under very tight timelines, the primary team at SIDES designed a streamlined online program for our Kindergarten to grade 3 students and families. Having used Open School materials for years, we had to completely reimagine the structure, as well as the instructional and assessment model for this program. We’ve created a month-by-month structure that emphasizes inquiry, is responsive to the needs of our students, and can be easily revised and updated by our teachers. This is a program that could be implemented with relative ease in other online schools. We’ll begin by hearing from you about how you’re delivering the primary program at your school, and then show you the reimagined SIDES’ primary program. We’ll also share our process and struggles, and share materials and templates to help enhance the program you are now offering or to help you implement a program similar to ours.
