成人直播

An innovative solution

With the unexpected changes brought on by COVID-19, many schools across the country transitioned their in-person classrooms to virtual spaces. In response, 成人直播 quickly adjusted our program to support students and their families as they continue their school year with distance learning by launching online literacy tutoring.

The 成人直播 Connects online tutoring platform, allows volunteers and AmeriCorps members to tutor students virtually using 成人直播鈥� evidence-based curriculum. Together, in the comfort of their own homes, students and tutors work through content that integrates trusted curriculum skills and lessons into interactive presentations. We are thrilled to provide this solution as a way to continue supporting students in communities practicing distance learning.

Behind the scenes

Much like our traditional program, 成人直播 Connects provides students with one-on-one tutoring, but in a virtual setting – no commuting needed. To ensure tutors feel comfortable with the new online tutoring platform, our volunteer training process now includes two orientations instead of one. During the orientation process, volunteers are supported by four hours of training covering all aspects of our new platform, from technology use to curriculum examples. After both orientations have been completed, volunteers can participate in office hours with our staff to practice using the online platform and prepare for their first session.

Before tutors begin their first session, a full-time site coordinator will reach out, providing all materials and links needed for the session. During the first session with the student, a site coordinator or another staff member will sit in to ensure that everyone is able to use the technology okay and has the chance to meet each other – we love seeing students鈥� faces again! After that, they will always log in 10-15 minutes before the lesson to make sure the tutor is there, and then will do another check to see that the student is there.

Until we can return to the classroom, 成人直播 Connects provides the moments that make us smile – seeing a student鈥檚 face when they master a new skill, practicing a fun dance move during a 鈥渂rain break鈥�, and most of all, reading together.

Working together to empower students

By December 2020, volunteer reading partners provided nearly 10,000 virtual tutoring sessions to students across 12 regions in the US. In addition to support from students鈥� families and school communities, our new 成人直播 Connects programming would not be possible without the dedicated work of our AmeriCorps members. AmeriCorps members supporting 成人直播 Connects serve as the lead for family, student, and volunteer engagement, ensuring everyone is equipped to attend and successfully complete their sessions online. They coach tutors, support families, observe distance tutoring sessions, and maintain data systems related to distance tutoring.

成人直播 moved quickly to ensure volunteers feel confident and comfortable using 成人直播 Connects. The dedicated training volunteers receive as well as the innovative programming for students would not be possible without the generous support of our community. This holiday season, your support will ensure students can continue to receive individualized literacy tutoring no matter where they are learning.
