Field Supervisor Interview
5. How are you meeting the needs of faculty and staff during the transition to remote
learning this semester?
So in the beginning we had different trainings I’ve teachers will contact me with questions like
“how do I do this or this isn’t working and I’ve made them videos and sent that to them so they
can then know how to use a new software program or set up a roster whatever it may be with
what they are using. I’ve done the same with families; teachers, families are having a hard time
connecting, teachers will put me in contact with them and I will help them troubleshoot. And like
I’ve said doing a bunch of research connecting with other technology community leaders and
providing resources for them. Did I get all the parts of your question, I think so?
6. How are you meeting the remote learning needs of students and parents?
So for the independent studies those are for families where students either they the
parents work schedule didn’t work well with the Zoom meetings or the kids couldn’t tolerate that
much screen time, it was just too difficult for them to manage. So then I work with the grade
level teams to follow their curriculum to keep the kids on pace, design a curriculum, I created a
matrix of what to do each day and how much time it takes you know essentially a checklist for
the kids and I manage Google Classroom where I post out assignments and then I check their
work, give them advice, meet with them once a week and support them in so yea just managing
a lot of curriculum.
8. Do you have a budget that you control? How do you make decisions on selecting
resources for your stakeholders?
I don’t have a budget that I control the assistant superintendent controls the budget so
when I need curriculum what we’ve been doing is pulling from what’s in inventory from either
school site if we have anything in inventory and then back filling from there, so I’ve had to order
curriculum for the independent study students and to test out hybrid equipment I just make a
request to the assistant superintendent “hey I want to try this, come up with a plan for teachers
in case we go to hybrid, test it out and so they purchased it, it was nominal nominal expenses it
wasn’t expensive at all.
13. What do you find to be the most challenging part of your job?
Yea. I think that it was because my job was born last minute and it was like quick we
have a problem, this is our solution Kathy can you do it? So there wasn't any pre planning for
my position so it’s figuring out as I go and I like systems processes and so you know I’m
stumbling my way through it to make those things happen or there can be a monkey wrench
that throws that shows up, somebody’s system went down and your in the middle of working on
curriculum because I have two jobs they kind of conflict but they don’t so that’s it.
