In an effort to pivot towards the needs of parents and students, my husband and I created pupil pod. Pods can be self chosen or assigned; 4-6 students per teacher. Hours are variable but can supplement or supplant students’ in-school synchronous learning. Teacher can be virtual or face-to-face depending on circumstances. Each 3-hour segment of academic instruction, tied to state standards and creatively embedded into lessons, includes an extracurricular activity. Those activities can include arts, physical education and the like. Contracts are flexible and in 12-week increments. All instructors are matched to each pod with personality and instructional goals in mind and are certified with background check and FBI clearances.
