Even though International Society for Technology i Even though International Society for Technology in Education did not meet in person this June, we’re sharing the ISTE love through memories from last year when Kathryn, Athena and Trinity presented on what happens when students mentoring other students doesn’t start with SEL training. Not often do you get to hear about the younger student’s perspective in this scenario. Our students have presented at ISTE since 2011. . . . #ShareYourISTELove #ISTE #ISTE20 #showcaseschool #microsoftedu #TeachingAI #tbt #tbt2019 #throwbackthursday
Renton Prep faculty are working around the clock t Renton Prep faculty are working around the clock to innovate and streamline our program based on Public Health requirements and OSPI Guidelines for Washington State. We have been approved by King County Public Health and the City of Renton to increase instructional time outside of the school building for fresh air and decrease risk for health concerns. We are looking at outdoor education to build teams and relationships right away at the beginning. We are also addressing each of the Key Themes. In addition, we have an adapted curriculum that will allow flexibility across face to face and remote learning. Although we need to decrease field trips, we are still looking at safe options for real-world activities. Given the opportunity, we will provide options for these experiences with added health precautions. . . . #reopening #showcaseschool #microsoftedu #rentonprep #covid19 #sel #ospi
Washington Department of Health reminds everyone t Washington Department of Health reminds everyone to cover their nose and mouth with a cloth face covering. The latest information shows people are the most contagious 1-2 days before any symptoms are noticeable. Face coverings help prevent the spread of droplets that come from talking, laughing, singing, coughing and sneezing. . . . #covid19 #publichealth #epidemic #summer #renton #showcaseschool #summerteacherlife #maskuprtn
It was a beautiful summer evening. How are you enj It was a beautiful summer evening. How are you enjoying the weather? Ms. Lee and Ms. Zimmerman walked and talked (with masks) about the 2020-2021 school year and plans. . . . #renton #coulon #socialdistancing #mask #covid19 #rentonprep #showcaseschool
Did you know: during the 1918 flu pandemic, medica Did you know: during the 1918 flu pandemic, medical teams found that the people taken care of in outdoor temporary medical field hospitals for overflow fared better than those inside in the hospital? There is evidence to suggest that Vitamin D supports respiratory function and decreases inflammation. Sunlight helps support the body producing Vitamin D. New research suggests that even when virus spreads during asymptomatic carriers, the micro droplets from laughing, singing, talking, coughing and sneezing that don’t fall to the ground right away get more quickly dispersed, less concentrated, where air is moving. This is why there is far less risk for transmission outdoors. We also have plans for helping support lung strength and capacity in our students to give our faculty and staff tools to give our bodies the best fighting chance to stay healthy and for quicker recovery if we get sick. Epidemiologists also support eating healthy foods rich in Vitamin C and zinc to support immune function. . . . #covid19 #epidemiology #health #schoolopening #showcaseschool
It’s not all fun and games figuring out the chal It’s not all fun and games figuring out the challenge of reopening school. It’s a complex puzzle. Even if children are less likely to express serious symptoms from COVID19, educators are at higher risk as adults. We are thankful for access to data, UW modeling predictions, science, medical professionals and a lengthy, personal conversation with a Microbiologist focused on epidemiology (he worked for the Obama administration), local government officials, all of whom informed our plans moving forward. We have also been on calls for weeks with Washington Federation for Independent Schools, OSPI, providing our educators the opportunity to weigh in and be part of decision making, as well as consulting with global educators who have already started the reopening process. Epidemiologists suggest the least risk for spread is outdoors. Our consultation with the Epidemiologist had a strong positive opinion on opening in August while the weather is consistently better for outdoor learning, with an earlier closure prior to Christmas break when flu season will interact with COVID19, increasing the likelihood of additional sickness when people gather for the holidays if they return to school in that time. Earlier break in the winter gives us the best chance to decrease health risks. We have a plan that will allow for fully remote, hybrid, on campus, and allow for extended quarantines for students, and faculty in the event of necessary self-quarantine or potential for new state regulations at any time during the school year. August start will allow us more of a chance to build relationships with social distance, outdoor learning, and human interaction in the event the UW model is accurate and a new spike hits around September 15 through October 1. We are following all Public Health guidelines. We will begin school on August 17, 2020. School plans will be released after further rounds of review by medical professionals. We wanted to give you the start date as soon as possible to help you plan. We know most schools across the country are still weighing options and many have not had the opportunity we have to speak directly with so many experts. . . #covid19 #showcaseschool #edu
