BEACONHOUSE SCHOOL SYSTEM
CLUSTER 19
NORTHERN REGION
To enrich teachers experiences during testing
times of COVID – 19 pandemic era
Hybrid schools apply what some educators refer to as “blended learning,” where
students get to mix traditional school attendance with home instruction. Hybrid
schools share some of the following distinctions:
•
Students attend school in a classroom setting, usually 2-3 days per week.
•
The school chooses the curriculum that will be used.
•
Teachers provide the primary instruction and assign grades.
•
Parents are highly involved, facilitating learning on the days students are at
home.

•
Physical schooling is scheduled to be from Monday to Thursday on
alternate days as a part of Hybrid Model 1 whereas Fridays will be
for online classes.
Timings
•
Monday to Thursday: 8:00 am to 1:50 pm
•
Friday: 8:00 am to 12:30 pm
Division of Classes into two groups
•
•
Each section will be divided into 2 groups; Group A & Group B.
Each Group will attend school physically on alternate days e.g.
Group A will attend on Mondays and Wednesdays and Group B
on Tuesdays and Thursdays
•
Group A and Group B will attend 2 synchronous online classes
together as a class not as separate groups On Friday
•
Keeping the whole class together on Friday will ensure that the
pace of learning is the same for all the students.
•
It will also provide the opportunity for students to connect
virtually with all their classmates
•
There will be 8 forty minute periods in a school day with10 minutes in the
morning for registration and 20 minute break.
•
Students will remain in class during break
•
There will be 16 F2F periods for a Group per week
•
For the school timetable it would entail 32 F2F teaching lessons in a week
8
periods in a day; as each group will attend school on two days, this totals to 16 periods
of F2F teaching & Learning for each group
 16
F2F for Mon & Wed
 16 F2F for Tue & Thur
•
On days when there is remote learning there will be

2 online 40 minute synchronous lessons in addition to other asynchronous learning
which will cover the remaining 6 periods of the day from home (this applies to remote
learning from Monday to Thursday)
•
On Fridays there will be 2 synchronous lessons planned in the timetable
the rest will be asynchronous
•
On Fridays Group A and B will attend the online synchronous lessons
together as a class
•
Hence there will be 4 online lessons per group during a week excluding
the two online lessons that will be conducted on Friday for the whole
class (not for separate groups)
In total, for each group in a week there will be:
•


16 F2F, 4 online lessons from Monday to Thursday, and
2 whole class online lessons on Fridays; a total of 22 periods/week/group.
In a school's weekly timetable the consolidated total for the two
groups A and B will be:
•

32 F2F periods + 8 online periods from Mon to Thursday and 2 online lessons on
Friday = 42
•
Attendance will be marked for both F2F and online classes
•
While grouping students schools need to ensure that siblings are in the
same group (coming to school on the same day)
