# Synchronous Instruction PLS Classes/Video

## Synchronous instruction is a classroom-style instruction or designated small group or one-on-one instruction delivered in person, or in the form of internet or telephonic communications, involving live two-way communication between teacher & pupil.

**Why: Why use the Engagement Calendar?**

- The Engagement Calendar was created to address the need to track Synchronous Instruction for students and staff.
- It Bridges the gap where synchronous instruction can be provided by teachers who may not be the primary teacher for a student (Ex: Counselors, Subject Matter Specialists)

**Where: Where does the data go?**

- Data flows from the Event once saved, onto the **PLS Roster\>Engagement Log**
- Gives the primary teacher (PLT, IS Staff Association, Oversight Teachers, EA) the ability to see that their students did/did not have synchronous instruction provided by another staff member
- Data also flows to the Activity Monitor (monitor controlled by a policy on the PLS Roster).  Primary teachers can see on the monitor that their student had activity for that day

**When: When is the best time to use the Engagement Calendar**

- Do students at your school receive synchronous instruction from staff other than their primary teacher? If yes, then this is when you would benefit from the Engagement Calendar
- Benefit is that if the Synchronous Instruction is held by someone other than the students’ Primary Teacher (IS Staff Association), that it can be tracked and logged without the Primary Teacher needing to do it

  Instruction and Live Interaction Participation Report.
- A page policy has also been added to set a  
  minimum time requirement for a student to get credit for participation in the event.

### **Attaching an Existing Zoom Meeting to Synchronous Inst.**

**This is a Paid Add on, if interested please contact School Pathways**

1. If a Zoom meeting is attached to a synchronous instruction, only the account that made or owns the Zoom meeting may edit that synchronous instruction. There are no administrative features available to edit other user’s Zoom meetings.
2. There is limited functionality for specially updating a Zoom meeting in this interface. If you need to make edits specifically to the Zoom meeting, then do so on the official Zoom website. If necessary additional options/features may be added at School Pathways discretion.

Select the “**Use Existing Meeting**” button.

When selected the popover will be updated to display a list of Zoom meetings not already known by the SIS. Select the desired meeting to use and you will be returned to the previous form.

If you wish to go back to the previous form without canceling the new instruction, click the **“Hide**” button.

### **DEFINITIONS:**

**From the Ca Website:  [What is Considered Live Interaction](https://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/cr/dl/distlearningfaqs.asp#what-is-considered-live-interaction)**

**Please look on the State Site for any changes throughout the year.** 

#### [What is considered “live interaction?”](https://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/cr/dl/distlearningfaqs.asp#what-is-considered-live-interaction)

*EC* Section 43503 requires that distance learning include “daily live interaction.” Daily live interaction is two-way communication between a certificated employee and student each instructional day, at the actual time of occurrence. Daily live interaction is required for every student with both a certificated employee and their student peers. In particular English learners, and students with special needs benefit from daily oral language development opportunities.

Examples of daily live interaction include in-person and virtual communication or interactions, including but not limited to synchronous online instruction (per statute) and phone calls where both parties communicate at the time of occurrence. One-way communication, including voicemails, emails, or print materials, is not considered a live interaction.

Pursuant to *EC* Section 43503(b)(6), if daily live interaction is not feasible as part of regular instruction, the governing board or body of the LEA shall develop, with parent and stakeholder input, an alternative plan for frequent live interaction that provides a comparable level of service and school connectedness.

 

### **What is considered "Synchronous Instruction"**

**“Synchronous instruction”** means classroom-style instruction or designated small group or one-on-one instruction delivered in person, or in the form of internet or telephonic communications, and involving live two-way communication between the teacher and pupil. Synchronous instruction shall be provided by a teacher or teachers of record for that pupil pursuant to Section 51747.5 or the certificated employee of the local educational agency providing instruction for course-based independent study.

 

1. #### [Are LEAs required to provide opportunities for both synchronous instruction and live interaction for independent study pupils?](https://www.cde.ca.gov/sp/eo/is/faq.asp#are-leas-required-to-provide-opportunities-for-both-synchronous-instruction-and-live-interaction-for-independent-study-pupils)
   
   LEAs are required to provide synchronous instruction and live interaction opportunities pursuant to *EC* sections 51747(e) and 51749.5(a)(4)(C), as follows:
   
   #### Minimum Standards for Live Interaction and Synchronous Instruction
   
   | Grade Level | Live Interaction Opportunities | Synchronous Instruction Opportunities |
   | --- | --- | --- |
   | Transitional kindergarten through grade three | Not applicable | Daily |
   | Grades four through eight | Daily | Weekly |
   | Grades nine through twelve | Not applicable | Weekly |

   If a pupil fails to participate in live interaction or synchronous instruction opportunities, the pupil shall not be reported absent or truant as independent study attendance is based only on the time value of pupil work *or* the combined time value of student work product and student participation in synchronous instruction that meets instructional time requirements for traditional independent study, and/or for course-based independent study, enrollment in courses that meet instructional time requirements and satisfactory educational progress in certified courses.
   
    According to *EC* sections 51747(b) and 51749.5, a pupil who misses a specified number of assignments must be evaluated to determine whether the pupil should remain in independent study or return to a classroom-based school program. Further, pupils who do not participate in live interaction or synchronous instruction shall be documented as non participatory for purposes of pupil participation and tiered reengagement.
