[SEE CONTINUATION ON SCHEDULE O]IN 2020, THE COVID-19 CRISIS CLOSED PUBLIC SCHOOLS ACROSS THE CITY, INSTANTLY DISRUPTING THE MOST IMPORTANT FACET OF OUR WORK - OUR ONE-TO-ONE AND SMALL GROUP INTERPERSONAL CONNECTIONS BETWEEN STUDENTS AND EDUCATORS, AND BETWEEN EDUCATORS AND US. THE INTERPERSONAL CONNECTION RELATIONSHIP IS PIVOTAL TO OUR PROGRAMMATIC SUCCESS. WE QUICKLY SHIFT READING RESCUE TO A VIRTUAL LIVE INSTRUCTION MODEL AND MADE IT AVAILABLE AS SOON AS STUDENTS HAD ACCESS TO TECHNOLOGY.RECOGNIZING THAT EVERY WEEK LOST WAS A SETBACK FOR THE CHILDREN IN READING RESCUE, OVER A MATTER OF FOUR WEEKS WE TRANSITIONED OUR RESEARCH-BASED, CAREFULLY NUANCED PROGRAM MODEL THAT WAS DEVELOPED FOR PERSON-TO-PERSON DELIVERY INTO AN ONLINE DELIVERY SYSTEM, WHICH MAINTAINS THE PERSONAL CONNECTION BETWEEN EDUCATOR AND STUDENT. OUR TEAM HAS CONTINUED TRAINING AND EQUIPPING OUR EDUCATORS TO DELIVER THIS PROGRAM VIRTUALLY TO OUR STUDENTS THROUGH SPECIALLY DESIGNED THREE-HOUR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SESSIONS.
