Has anyone surveyed teachers to ask about their preferences for virtual learning? if so, do you mind sharing the survey?

Thanks!

I haven’t sent out formal surveys, but have been in touch with teachers at the local elementary school.
The principal there prefers videos (garden Ed themes and lessons) dropped into the teachers Google Classroom or Seesaw pages, for kids to access during asynchronous lessons (afternoons).
However, the teacher I’m closest to is wanting some live lessons via her Zoom calls, 15 min max length, with some additional (other sources) videos to support the concepts (farm tours, Kiss the Ground shorter videos, Generation Genius videos, etc).

Teachers are all still figuring things out right now...
But I do know they are wanting activities for the kids that pull them off the device/using their hands etc. 

A more “go direct to the source/immediate feedback/real time” kind of survey:)

It depends on site + leadership 

My schools that have less resources, more bean counters and worried administrators are putting garden on pause.

I am zooming to support my Birney program ..mixed response from teachers about giving up some facetime for specials. It is shorter so we are creating async websites to complete...I will be distributing my version of kits soon.


All eyes on NYC to see if reopening is going to work. Phase I plan is set, however I have not been consulted OR the PE teacher....so imagine that this will not be in early phase

Hi, 
Here's the link to the survey we did at the end of the spring, and another one in August. We sent the surveys in Survey Monkey, but I am sharing the text as a Google Doc.

Best, 
Anna

We used this survey after our Spring Digital Field Trip Lessons  (combination of videos, online and offline activities & prompts).

Digital Field Trip Teacher Survey

I also would be interested to see any other approaches.

We also are in a holding pattern with face-to-face programming, here in Washington County, New York.

We are creating videos that are similar to what we would do with the students for the teachers use.
