 OTAN, Outreach and Technical Assistance Network. Good morning everyone. We are the D-LAC team from Campbell Adult and Community Education. We are part of the Campbell High School District. And these are my team members. Where are you? Next slide, Jill. Oh, it's stuck again like yesterday. Okay, there it goes. Jill Morrissey. I was an ESL teacher. My name is Jill Morris. I'm a student at West San Jose. I'm a teacher at North Kantred ESL, High-Set and Flex. In fact, Jill also teaches Flex and Archana. That's me. And I teach a high-set class. Our school serves West San Jose, Campbell and the surrounding areas. And we offer classes in multiple locations. In areas of community education, career education, ABE, ASC and five levels of ESL. Will the next slide please? Yeah, we started off, back again please. Jill? It's doing what it did for the other day. It's jumping on its own. We have to start over. No, it's like on its own thing here for some reason. Oh no. We started off with our mission. Of course, I can't read my mission right now, but I can tell you that our population in our school runs basically, let's see, if I think about our population, we're about 50% Hispanic and 20 to 25% Asian descent. So we have quite a varied group of students that we're dealing with. Interestingly, in that population we have about 65% of our students are ESL students, and about 20% of our students are our high school diploma students. Here we go. In the pandemic, we were looking at a population of around 1800 students enrolled in all of our various programs that are China listed. And now during the pandemic, we've noticed and we checked with the administration, we're looking at about 45% drop in population and enrollment. That's substantial. For us, that's very, very substantial. And of course, that really hurts in moving forward. What are we going to do next year to recuperate that population. We're looking for next year you see our school year outlook 2021 2022, we are more than likely going to move towards a hybrid model where we will have two days in class and of instruction and two days via zoom instruction. So it's, it's going to be a big shift for all of our teachers. This is going to be something school wide that will be implemented this on this onset of blended learning but it's not just going to be one or two classes it's probably going to be throughout the entire program. We are also envisioning a virtual classroom environment thing we found that it was a very positively received 100% online classes. So that's one of the other options that we're looking at is offering online classes next semester as well, either through our flex distance learning program where students are meeting up with their teacher one day a week, or through a zoom environment like we currently are doing on to the next slide before it jumps. So we found that online class like everyone else is a safe place to learn and grow. It was quite an adventure in the spring as we switched quickly into the online platform. It was daunting. It was scary. And then, oh boy, it learned it turned out we're not this is not going to disappear. So we needed to make plans for the fall. And we had a great team in place, just really, or well organized all hands on deck. We created an online boot camp program to get the students ready with technology and just any barriers that were there to we overcame the barriers so that we could begin the school year on solid ground. But then it became clear that we needed to grow deeper. There's so much information out there. How do we choose what programs what apps are best. We needed to deepen our roots. So as the pandemic set in it became clear online teaching was here to stay. And we were, we realized that we needed to just expand and grow deeper. That was our challenge and hallelujah we had a wonderful solution. The D lack Academy was ready to begin their third cohort. And we wanted to take advantage of that opportunity like you all, and we applied and we knew this would be a great solution to helping our agency. Make a plan, grow deeper and get some professional development. So we had wonderful support starting with D lack and and as I mentioned all the professional development and conferences, networking, everything we did as a large group, and working together with our own team on the online course with the company with the, the modal course that we did really helped us wrap our minds around everything that is involved in creating an online functioning online program. And Otan challenged us to put a lot of things into practice. And also the other conferences and webinars that we did we received a lot of help through Otan. As we were looking at canvas help and they go right there our coach Francisca made the connections and then we had our own, you know, Melinda come in and Diana and folks helping us out with moving forward with some of the technology that we were scared about. Okay, and then the other thing was our special coach coaching with Francisca and the other teams that were part of Francisca's group, we just learned so much from each other. A lot of encouragement, just being vulnerable sharing our weaknesses and just the encouragement as I said just really was invaluable. So we really benefited from these areas of the back. Thank you everyone. Like Jill said, we've benefited a lot from OTAN and D like our coach Francisca has been a great resource. She brings with her years of experience in adult education. And this helped us reach out to other agencies as we were narrowing down our site plan. Our fellow D lackers have also been super helpful, patient supportive, answering all of our questions. We had a meeting with Susan Rush, the day after Thanksgiving, and Christina Hyatt over the winter break. Porter's Gallup Strengths assessment helped us to understand our team strengths. My teammate Lars is great with writing and Jill came up with this beautiful slide presentation. We've been focusing on and encouraging our strengths and moving forward as a team in setting goals and piloting our site plan. Our discussions during our weekly meeting with Francisca, Santa Clara team and Pittsburgh team have been rewarding. We have shared learning practices, resources and understanding issues, which otherwise we would not even have thought about. And this has helped us look into the future. In this past few months, we have all grown as individuals and as a team, setting a culture for change and learning while maturely handing conflicts and respecting individual ideas. Over to you, Lars. Okay, well. One of the things that we get from the ideal one on one course is the is the panorama of existing programs out there. And the possibilities. I mean, when we first started our class with destiny, I kind of felt like these fingers running into these grooves I felt like I was getting my fingers caught in everything that was running. I didn't really know what was available what was out there. And the ideal one on one course gave you that vision of all of what is existing, and all of what are the different avenues that are that are that are out there, plus all of the considerations on some of the considerations such as for for distance learning and expanded orientation for distance learning was something that I never really thought about initially, and the the class opened up all of these, these ideas that we had to consider the the some of the things with Dr. Dr. Porter. I felt like gave me the ability to hand off things because I always wanted to be that person that was involved in in everything that was moving. But a lot of things I didn't really want to do. And Dr. Porter gave me the ability to simply say hey, I don't want to do this. It's not my strength, and I could give it off to somebody else and other people could do those things and that was okay. It wasn't me just sloughing it off, it was actually me playing to strengths. So I thought in my mind. Continue to the next slide please. Right so ultimately, we were able to come up with our plan our vision. So just did a nutshell I won't go down to each one because we are going to focus on them and the next few slides, but our main goal was to participate in the Leadership Academy, so that we can research and plan and and develop our tech plan. So we were very comfortable in Google Classroom, but our district offers canvas. So this is a great opportunity to explore the benefits of canvas and see if we like canvas. So we thought this would be a great project to do. So we, we hope to be the team that assists and trains our faculty and staff as we transition into canvas and take on some other projects. Our first project as I mentioned is at midterm report here is we are ready to move into canvas many of you are doing canvas but, as I mentioned earlier it was like a daunting thing for us at first. So we really got a lot of support to D lax so we're ready now we're ready to pilot canvas. We've divided up our pilot into our three strengths. Our China is handling the high set area since she teaches adult Ed Lars teaches intermediate low in ESL so he has developed a canvas model for that, and I teach advanced ESL. So that's where we placed our focus, and we are starting next week for our pilots to do our pilots are China. Yes, we are piloting canvas. Next week in my high set class. The, in my high set class we primarily use as tech as the test prep material, and if we have had a great success with it. It was, it, you know we took some time to figure out how to integrate as tech into. We decided that you know we I had to link as tech to canvas as as tech in itself is an LMS. So on the next slide you will see my canvas homepage, which is pretty simple and easy for students to follow. We have just three or four tabs and links for the zoom and you know all the resources that we use. Basically keeping it super simple. The idea is we want students to be familiar with canvas, as it will help that it will be easy and help them for transition to Community College. The focus here is for our students to be successful beyond adult school, and we hope that you know, familiarizing them with canvas will keep get them ready for future. This is a synchronous math lesson every day as part of our daily class routine, and I will be adding math worksheets and supplemental material through the course of the school year and forever, you know all the other subjects will be primarily doing as tech as a prep material. The canvas course can be used either in person hybrid or for remote learning. That was the idea when we developed this particular canvas course over to you Lars. Yeah, what I'm looking at in in in my class is. Moving on to the next slide. What I'm looking at my next slide in my next in my canvas program is trying to integrate as much as possible. And there I am hanging from the Campbell water tower. I'm going to integrate ventures as much as possible into into canvas so I'm going through page by page with the with the ventures. Book ventures three book, and trying to get it as interactive as possible within canvas so that we can either use it as a, a in class resource. I can either use it as a student's book at the time, or use it off zoom wise and then I can still interact with students with those same pages using the canvas. So if you take a look at the next page, you'll see that what I've done is I've created a teacher made slide member from the Tdls program I was talking about teacher made. Well this is a teacher made slide that has an actual screenshot from the textbook with the fill in the blank that students can fill in the fill in while they're in a zoom class and I can actually monitor live as they are filling filling it in. So at the bottom of the page you can't see this here on the screenshot but on the bottom of the page there's also a button for the audio so that students can actually check their work with the audio recording of the entire dialogue. So it's that kind of integration that I'm trying to create so that students can either use the material via zoom, or we can use the book in class physically in class. So it's a seamless use of the, the material. Advanced class. My focus is on the future five advanced ESL curriculum. And like Lars it's a lot of building on there is no shell available at this time that I know of. So it's just creating it the best to my ability. I also focused on my homepage for canvas. I thought I would create buttons and just link. Just the basics of what I want my students to use. And so I created my banner and the buttons, and I'm not live on this but each button like the zoom link the email. I have a book club where I have a library of books that the students can select a book it takes them directly to that application discussion homework I'm going backwards here and then today's lesson of vocabulary that would be my focus for my my group, but other students may want to select their own buttons, their own focus for their canvas classroom. So that's what we're working on is just sort of developing a scene how it goes. So the second project that we're I know we're really tight on time. Second project that we're looking at is making a canvas module, something called case connect. Yeah, here is we're taking a very successful orientation boot camp program that we've been doing right now via Google slides via zoom have one minute left. Okay, and putting it online into canvas, so that we can be teaching canvas as well as other tech orientation. Keep going. Okay, our third project is the teacher resource center, which we plan to deploy in spring 2022. The resource center will be a toolbox just like in the picture, with everything the teachers and staff need from information about the school the contact information, the courses offered we're also thinking about dual enrollment. So information about dual enrollment, and all the support services be offered for our students. Next slide Jill. This is it in a nutshell up to the midterm we started with DLAC training we moved on to ideal, growing our roots deep into the course and experiencing TDLS coach meetings and canvas pilot may midterm.
