Pod Classes
Pre-K – Grade 12
Pod Classes
During the 2020-2021 school year, we are offering Pod Classes for students. Due to COVID- 19, many schools are set to open with a blended or remote teaching schedule and Pod Classes will support students.
What is a Pod Class?
A pod is a small group of 3- 6 students from the same grade, from the same school, that will work together throughout the school year. Students and tutors can meet either in-home, at our location, or remotely, in an online classroom.
Creating Your Pod Class
Please follow these 3 steps to create your pod:
Step 1: Contact your school (Parent Coordinator, Principal, Assistant Principal) to obtain the following information:
a. The teaching model the school will be implementing for the 2020-2021 school year.
b. The cohort (smaller class within your class) your child has been placed in. (i.e. a cohort list: A class list that has been split up into cohorts based on the model the school is implementing.)
Step 2: Speak with other families in your cohort to form a Pod Class.
Step 3: Call Richie to set up : )
How long is a Pod Class?
Pod Classes will be 2 hours long.
What age is good for a Pod Class?
All ages from Pre-k - Grade 12 can benefit from Pod Classes.
What times are Pod Classes?
Pod Classes are at set times during the day. As schools are finalizing their schedules, we are as well. Pod classes will be scheduled at the following times: 9:30 - 11:30 and 12:30 - 2:30. The store will be disinfected between pods. At 3:00, we will open for weekly tutoring. The number of students tutoring at the store will be limited to be in compliance with CDC guidelines.
What will be taught during the Pod Class?
Students in Pre-K will use our STEAM based program which is aligned to the common core standards for Early Childhood. For older elementary, middle and high school students, we will reinforce the school curriculum by implementing the skills and strategies taught within your child's classroom. We will also assist students with the completion of assignments via google classroom or another platform that their school is using.
Where are the Pod Classes?
We are setting up Pod Classes at our location. We are located at 1737 York Avenue, directly across from Asphalt Green. We are also partnering with other companies to help support students this upcoming year.. For example, if you live on the Upper East Side or Tribeca, your pod my be at an alternate site such as The Craft Studio.
Safety
Safety has always been, and now more than ever, is our top priority. Standout Learning will follow all CDC guidelines while implementing Pod Classes. This includes, but is not limited to social distancing, masks required when students are closer than 6 feet apart, daily temperature checks upon arrival and dismissal in tandem with a waiver sign off before entering our location either on or off-site.
This pod should be formed internally within your cohort to ensure compliance with CDC guidelines. It will significantly reduce the intermixing of students to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Educationally, creating a Pod Class from the same cohort, will provide each student the best possible learning experience.
Transportation
Many of our teachers use public transportation. If you wish for your teacher to use an alternate form of transportation, parents are responsible for the expense.
Feedback
After each session, our tutors will follow up via email with notes about your child's session. We encourage parents to connect the tutor with their child's teacher at school. We believe this type of communication can help close gaps between home and school.
