Covid-19 continues to challenge our once best laid plans. Schools in Kenya have remained closed since March and as we await directives on re-opening in September 2020, our learners continue to adjust as best as they can to the new reality we live in. At Nova Pioneer, we take pride in having launched our remote learner packs in the last part of the first term of the year that allowed students to continue learning remotely. This was closely followed by the launch of our virtual learning program in May and this program has been accessible to our Nova Pioneer families.
To continue reaching as many learners as possible to reduce the expected impact Covid-19 may have on the quality of education across the world, Nova Pioneer will be extending it’s virtual learning program to non-Nova Pioneer families.
What You Can Expect?
Access to Student Facing Google Classroom
Google Classrooms helps students and teachers organize assignments, boost collaboration, and foster better communication. This has enabled us to shift from physical classrooms to a digital classroom environment.
Live Lessons & Lesson Videos
One of the distinctive features of Nova Pioneer is our strong instructional leadership culture. Coupled with education technology tools from the G-Suite for Education, Nova Pioneer has been set up to deliver engaging learning experiences for all Novaneers remotely and at scale.
In partnership with our learning design team, teachers and instructional leaders, we are building out a library of rigorous enquiry-based lesson storyboards, which are helping guide our Novaneers through the 8-4-4 and CBC curriculum at home. We have been thrilled to see the engaging learning moments that have been happening across Novaneer homes!
Students enjoy receiving lesson videos from a team of passionate teachers at each campus, which are delivered via their Google Classrooms.
Class Assignments
Our students have been completing their assignments completely digitally and submitting them back to teachers. What is amazing about this is that students are learning to use digital tools like Google Docs, Sheets and Slides, which are building essential collaboration and digital literacy skills for the future ways of working. What sets innovators apart from others is that they use technology as tools for active creation and collaboration, rather than only for passive consumption of content.
Weekly Live Check-Ins
Every week teachers are connecting with their students via Zoom or Google Meet making sure that teachers remain connected and in relationship with their students as they move through the curriculum at home.
