Teaching on suspension days

Typhoon, flood, or heat: classes get suspended, but teaching and the paperwork do not stop. Tell us how it really goes at your school. About 5 minutes, no sign-in needed.

1. About you

1.1 Your role

1.2 Type of school

1.3 Region of your school

Suspensions are regional, so this tells us where the need is.

1.4 Grade levels you handle

2. Suspension days at your school

2.1 Roughly how many class-suspension days did your school have last school year?

Typhoons, heavy rain, flooding, extreme heat, and other emergencies.

2.2 What usually happens to lessons on a suspension day?

2.3 Which tools do you use to reach learners on those days?

2.4 What are the biggest problems when you try to teach on a suspension day?

Pick the top 3.

2.5 On a typical suspension day, what share of your learners actually join or submit something?

2.6 Describe your most recent suspension day. What did you do, and what went wrong? (optional)

3. Proof of instruction

We want to understand the paperwork that follows a suspension.

3.1 Are you required to submit proof that instruction happened on suspension days?

3.2 What do you submit?

3.3 How long does that documentation take you per suspension day?

4. Teaching from home

4.1 Your internet at home

4.2 Which best describes the device you would teach from at home?

5. The idea

Imagine this: on a suspension day you open your class record in GuroHub, press Start Live Session on one of your subjects, and teach through a shared whiteboard and a live transcript of what you say. Learners join from any phone browser with no app and very little data. Audio is optional. When you end the session, attendance goes into SF2, quiz and exit-ticket scores go into your class record, and a proof-of-instruction report is ready.

5.1 Which parts would matter most to you?

Pick the top 3.

5.2 Could you teach a suspension-day class with whiteboard and transcript only, no live audio?

Audio is the most expensive part for learners on mobile data.

5.3 If this existed next suspension day, would you use it instead of your current setup?

5.4 Why, or why not? What would stop you? (optional)

5.5 Who at your school would realistically pay for a tool like this?

5.6 GuroHub bundles the electronic class record, SF2 attendance, SF9 export, and this suspension-day classroom. What could your school reasonably pay per teacher per month for all of it?

Assume the school pays once a year for all its teachers, not each teacher individually.
