Instruction involved synchronous (live) sessions for students, learning materials available online, and packets sent through the mail to students. In addition to the individualized synchronous sessions, students participated in an optional group meeting which focused on daily orientation, relationship building, general skills, and check-in. At the secondary level, ESY students were also able to work in a vocational classroom with FCPS Career and Transition staff.
