Q. Approx. how much time is spent per day with screen to screen interaction between students and their teacher.

A. Teachers will have office hours for students and parents to drop in to support student learning. Live, synchronous instruction for the virtual learning model that will be implemented at Capital Area K-12 will vary according to grade level.

Capital Area K-12 Online instructional model is the flipped classroom. For example, students might watch pre-recorded videos on Monday morning to review the lessons for the week. Students will then join the synchronous sessions with their classroom teachers throughout the week to engage in questions, activities and discussions regarding the assignments.
