Developed and implemented a new district-wide academic support program, Royal Connections (RC), as a response to COVID-19 challenges. Work includes managing over 50 employees and their assignments, implementing organizational methods, and grant writing.RC started spring of 2020 as the need for academic support grew exponentially with the pivot to distance learning; this pivot created many challenges, but also created opportunities for flexible learning environments. RC expanded outward from the high school, to the entire E-12 system including extended hours and non-school days.With the ability to hire RC Instructors and offer flexible, no-cost academic support, the program further expanded to fill teachers’ requested classroom needs; RC Instructors assist with lessons, read to scholars, provide remedial 1:1 support, and more. There is also a high need for tutoring within our district’s English Language Learner program (ELL). Peer tutoring can provide a safe space for ELL scholars to practice English with personalized support that is implausible in a regular classroom setting, while making an early connection to another Hopkins scholar to foster a more connected and inclusive community.
