Happening today, teachers in oakland are warning the district, if they dont have a deal on Distance Learning, by the end of today, they are going to make their own plan. Students is set to return in just over a week but so far it is unclear exactly what they will be returning to. The state requires districts to provide 180 days of instruction with the length of those days based on grade level. But it has not specifically laid out how much of the instruction must be done live versus how much can be delivered through prerecorded content and paper packets. Now the district is holding teachers to their regularly contracted workday of 375 to 390 minutes. The union wants to cut it to 300 minutes across the board. Also proposing that teachers spend just an hour a day with students for the first week and use the rest of the time to plot out their lesson plans for the year. The union is also seeking wellness time, which is described at the opportunities for teachers to engage in stress relief activities. A district spoke spokesperson said while there is no hard line on a deal the goal is to finalize an agreement before classes resume a week from today. No bay area schools will be starting the Academic Year with in class instruction. To help parents make the adjustment, we asked the child and adolescent Development Department chair at San Jose State University for some advice. First, where do parents begin . I have three children myself, each in a different schools. So i have been thinking over this question. I have spent most of my career studying development and learning but it doesnt always translate immediately into parenting. I would start by getting to know your child all over again. This time from the perspective of a teacher or a developmental us. Of course it is helpful to start with where your child stands and school, what grade level and what are their strengths and interests. More specifically, it is helpful to really take account of what they are able to do, what they are able to do on their own, what they can do with the support of others. And what they are not quite ready for. The doctor also reminds us it is okay to make mistakes. Dont put so much pressure on yourself as parents. Her job is to provide support and structure so your child knows that they are not going through this challenge alone. You can find our exclusive kpix 5 Home Learning guide on kpix. Com learn.

As part of the summer streets program, the city of el alto has closed university to car traffic all day every day to allow for more Outdoor Dining and support retailers. But restaurants on the side streets say that it is taking away business. I think that the city was admirable in their idea to do it.
