Public school systems have been struggling to make the transition to online teaching. Rebecca Kleinschuster, an 8th grade teacher at the Northeast Academy for Aerospace and Advanced Technologies, shares how the school has stayed ahead of the curve with a program they have developed called Remote Learning Protocol (RLP).
Remote Learning Protocol was developed since NEAAAT pulls students from nine different counties - hurricanes are frequent in the North-East region of North Carolina, so having an online teaching system empowers the school to teach under any circumstances. All courses are developed within the classroom as well as continually updated online, therefore, students being able to successfully complete work upon schedule.
The school has also expanded its resources to the students by shipping equipment aboard the school's six buses to the counties in most need during this pandemic. "We have provided new Chromebooks, flash drives if needed, hot-spots to provide students with internet, and food ... the materials are loaded onto the bus and the students and parents can pick them up from the bus stop."
Having such an advantage over the surrounding schools in the area and even in the state in the online teaching realm, NEAAAT faculty and students are continuing successfully on track with their education; they will still receive a full spring break while finishing on time and still hold a graduation.
"Having nine counties in [our] school has really prepared us in a remarkable way to be able to tackle this [Coronavirus] and just keep moving as if it is a normal business day."
