Student Learning 

Student learning is very much continuing at CAIS online. All CAIS teachers are working full-time creating meaningful learning experiences for students of all ages. Please ensure that your child is benefiting from this Online Learning opportunity. During this lockdown period CAIS will conduct a full synchronous normal school schedule for upper Primary and Secondary students.

Advice for parents

The most important way that parents can assist their students during this time is to help set the right environment for study. This can be done by:

1. Ensure your child has a quiet place to complete their work and engage in online learning. A pair of earphones can help block out background noises. 

2. Be sure you check  with your child that they know their schedule.

3. Discuss the work with your child.

4. If it is clear that your child is having difficulty completing the work due to technological, language or any reason, please contact the teacher. There are EAL and Learning Support specialists available to assist. Students and parents can also contact their homeroom teachers or relevant coordinators.

 Online learning occurs in two main categories. 

SYNCHRONOUS

Students and teachers  occupy the same digital space and interact live, at the same time.

For example;

Students  participate in a live video session hosted by the subject teacher.

Students participate in a live video session hosted by the Homeroom teacher

Students participating in a live,  online discussion being moderated by the teacher 

Students collaborate through video on groups on work

ASYNCHRONOUS

Students are engaged in work but not interacting with the class and/or teacher at the same time. 

For example;

Students complete an exercise posted on Managebac

Students view a a recorded video recorded by the teacher 

Students view a resources video posted by the teacher 

Students contribute to an online discussion forum with written comments
