Course Expectations

FLASH At-Home Course Expectations

All teachers and courses will follow these expectations:

All classes will run using Google Classroom
Teachers will post daily assignments by 9:00 AM.
Teachers will design age-appropriate lessons that take approximately 20-30 minutes per class.
Teachers will do their best to create independent activities that require minimal parental involvement.
Teachers will use a blend of their own pre-recorded video lessons, instructional videos from other online resources, and Google Education resources like Docs, Drawings, Slides, and more. Teachers may use live-video conferencing to supplement course activities, but live-video will not be the primary means of instruction. (Note: Pre-recorded video was selected over live-conferencing as the primary method of instruction to offer greater student flexibility and to accommodate families' summer schedules.)
Teachers will “check in” twice each day through Google Classroom, between 9:30AM - 1:30PM, to provide clarity, answer questions, and offer feedback. Teachers are not expected to be immediately available for the entire 4-hour duration.

Parent(s)/Guardian(s) must be available to supervise activities for safety.
Students will use age-appropriate materials, so classes will be modified accordingly. For example, Cooking will NOT require the use of the stove, oven, or sharp utensils.

New Jersey Executive Orders do not allow FLASH/Summit Schools to distribute materials.
Required course materials are listed as part of the course catalog. Teachers strongly recommend you purchase materials as soon as possible.
Teachers will make every attempt to use common household items. Some courses may require additional materials. For example, Sewing may need a needle or specific type of fabric.
