At the direction of Governor Jim Justice, West Virginia State Superintendent of Schools W. Clayton Burch created the Taskforce for Remote Learning to provide guidance on how schools can implement continuous learning in the face of the COVID-19 mandatory suspension of in-person instruction. The taskforce developed the West Virginia Remote Learning Framework for the COVID-19 Emergency document for counties to use when considering the types of information to include in the development of a long-term plan. This document has been developed by the West Virginia Department of Education in partnership with county superintendents and school staff. All information in this document is designed to support school counties in making decisions to address student learning needs during the COVID-19 crisis. The information in this document should be reviewed by superintendents and their staff for consideration and/or guidance as they develop, review, and/or revise their local remote learning plans. The following are the Taskforce for Remote Learning's overall recommendations: (1) Work with principals, teachers and other stakeholders to assist you in the development of your county plan; (2) Consider the programmatic level best practices around student engagement opportunities, grading, social/emotional, counseling, and graduation; (3) Assure your plans include special education services as well as other special populations; (4) Consider using summer learning opportunities to prepare students for the upcoming year (5) Create a clear and concise communication plan; (6) Expand considerations to include suggestions for student engagement, family/home contact and counseling; and (7) Include your next steps.
