Distance Learning Plan

We’re in a scary and uncertain time, and it’s important for us all to take care of ourselves as best we can.  Here are some resources we find useful:

• Alameda County Crisis Support Service’s self-care page
• If you are a caregiver to family members
• A list of ideas for parents
• Free, short yoga videos on this YouTube channel by Adriene
• “Calm” application – Great resource, free version available or Kaiser members can download full version at no cost.

• Attendance is required in live remote classes and check-ins with teachers.
• Academic Stipends will be tied directly to weekly engagement for each class you are assigned (ie: receiving “engagement” credit for a class = $25 per class; if you met the engagement requirement in 4 classes = $100 for the week).  Reach out to Bethany with questions about the Stipend.

Grab-and-Go lunches will be available daily for all working in Recycling and at the JTC.  A pop-up grocery for all Corpsmembers, with produce and dry goods available, will be held at 5th Street every other Thursday from 11:30-3:00.

It’s a scary and uncertain time, and Support Services staff are available to help just as if you were on site. Case Counselors will be reaching out at least weekly to all students to check-in and ensure basic needs are being met (ie: food, shelter, health/hygiene, mental wellness, phone service, etc).  Should a student have questions or concerns, they should reach out JAB, Senior Support Services Manager, at jab@cvcorps.org.

The Resource Team will continue to support all scholars on their caseload through a variety of mechanisms which align with Individual Education Plans.  The Intervention Specialist and Instructional Aide will support via live Zoom sessions and through one-on-one phone calls, emails, and via text messaging.  The Resource Specialist will be in contact with students to clarify support systems in place during distance learning and to identify outstanding needs.
