Good
communication
is
essential
to
learning.
Body
language
and
visual
cues
are
a
substantial
part
of
the
teacher-student
learning
interaction.
In
our
present
environment,
many
concerns
have
been
expressed
about
students
remaining
off
camera
and
the
difficulty
it
presents
teachers
in
assessing
engagement
and
understanding
in
real
time.
Teachers
monitoring
and
adjusting
instruction
based
on
student
needs
is
an
important
part
of
the
instruction
and
learning
process.
To
ensure
that
students
are
engaged
and
teachers
are
able
to
be
responsive
to
the
needs
of
their
students,
cameras
are
expected
to
be
on
whenever
it
is
possible
or
practicable.
Students
and/or
parents
of
students
with
unique
circumstances,
related
to
their
environment,
personal
needs,
or
technology,
that
make
an
on-camera
presence
not
practical
are
asked
to
confer
with
their
teacher(s)
and/or
school
administrator
so
accommodations
can
be
made
to
ensure
that
the
student(s)
will
be
properly
engaged
and
participating
in
lessons
while
not
visible
to
the
teacher.
Otherwise,
cameras
should
be
on
and
students
visually
present
for
live
virtual
lessons.
