I find it interesting that in the February edition of "Leaders To Learn From" on the website https://leaders.edweek.org/profile/robert-harris-assistant-superintendent-human-resources-solving-substitute-teacher-problem/, there is an article titled "A Modern Solution to the Problem of Teacher Absences."

This article describes a school in Massachusetts that had addressed teacher absences by hiring an Electonic Learning Facilitator (ELF) to oversee students completing digital assignments in their "Independent Digital Learning Center." In this school, teachers have the option of requesting a substitute or assigning students to the Learning Center. 

Bancroft-Rosalie School has a similar program, with students having an E Day when the teacher is absent. E Day students report to the Media Center/Library to complete their digital assignments.  Janet Lutjen, study hall supervisor (our version of an ELF), monitors the students. 

B-R is in the second year of E Days and the results have been positive. The goal of the digital assignment is to move instruction forward with an assignment that would be the same as what they would be doing on a traditional class period, rather than a worksheet or something that I would consider "busy work."

Maybe we need to refer to our supervisor as the ELF- Electronic Learning Facilitator.
