On March 21, the Beverly Hills Unified School District (BHUSD) announced the closure of schools due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, teachers are embracing the district motto, “Education Reimagined.” The “reimagining” is taking a form most educators, parents and students never contemplated. A new phase of “Home Learning” officially began on March 24 and is currently expected to continue at least through May 5.
Under the new Home Learning program, students are doing exactly that. Learning at home by keeping up with schoolwork and interacting with their teachers in a collaborative online setting. Students are using BHUSD email, Google Hangouts/Meet, Google Classroom, Zoom, and various specialized online programs to stay in touch with teachers and keep up on lessons.
