Hello from Bay Mills, MI

40:18
Hi all from B&GC of Tarrant County (Texas). We are doing onsite and virtual programming. Our on-site support is being called "Back 2 Basics" Learning Centers".

43:02
Yes!

43:57
Excellent list- can we get a copy? Thanks, Michael!

44:01
Thank you Michael Vuong! Keep up the Good Work!!!!

44:56
Thank you!

45:27
Thank you this is helpful, excellent

45:31
Doing great things in the Tenderloin! Thank you for your service!

45:34
Great Michael ! Thx.

45:59
thank you for sharing, Michael

46:00
We have stayed away from using the word pod as it can be triggering to those who have been affected by the jail/prison system.

46:07
Great info and love the pics - thanks for sharing Michael!

46:31
mvuong@kidsclub.org - feel free to reach out if more support or questions are needed as well...we're all in this together

58:32
this is all super helpful, thank you so much

58:55
Thank you!! Good stuff

59:27
Where in the chat is the distance learning agreement document?

59:34
it’s more than two decades old

59:40
do you guys have an attendance policy? Because spots are limited we are considering becoming more strict if kids miss days

59:53
Back Pocket Handbook probably 20 years old. Still good stuff!

01:00:00
This is great! Any chance you can email me this recording? erivas@bgcb,org

01:00:59
we have that youth need to commit to attend 3-4 days out of the week. If they don’t a call is made to parents. After second time missing, we replace the youth with another one on our waiting list.

01:01:27
learning happens everyday and in different environments. is time to look at education and learning with a different lens.

01:01:34
@kristin - we are asking families to come everyday and to contact us if they can't..."okay" reasons to stay home will range and all is virtually okay, we just want to make sure there is good communication

01:01:51
thanks stephanie and michael!

01:02:27
An important thing to consider for attendance policies is that you want to avoid creating any incentive structures that would discourage a family from keeping their child home if they're sick. Especially right now, it's important that families know that keeping a sick child home won't result in them losing their space once the child recovers.

01:02:38
Where do you find the backpack playbook?

01:03:03
Families don’t feel comfortable yet with their children being out of the home, especially based on their culture and if they feel targeted by COVID (aka our Asian/SE Asian families)

01:03:06
yes chrissy, keeping them home for being sick is imperative!

01:03:18
@chrissy… we consider excused and unexcused absences based on communication from parents.

01:05:02
makes sense!

01:05:13
I should have said targeted due to covid*

01:05:22

01:10:44
Thank you.

01:14:53
kids just "refusing" to go to school

01:15:03
breakout sessions are not ideal for youth who do not transition well

01:15:09
yes ma'am

01:15:22
Not having communication between the teachers and parents

01:15:22
not logging in to virtual classroom, they say they cant get in...

01:15:23
Kids completely shutting down: tears, and defeated attitude- not wanting to get back to the class because of this feeling

01:15:28
member being defiant of safety policies (wearing mask, social distancing)

01:15:42
Using their breaks and distracting others kids who are not on break

01:15:46
students misusing the mic and/or camera intentionally to get kicked out of class

01:15:51
Homework that requires equipment or supplies members don't have access to

01:15:52
taking extra long breaks

01:15:53
changing passwords every week and youth not having the new password

01:15:54
Kids giving up on putting the work in because of tech difficulties and no real opportunities to connect with friends

01:17:05
provide alternative activities for youth as breaks from class

01:17:16
Visual picture schedules

01:17:17
brain breaks!

01:17:18
It's helpful to check for understanding - sometimes youth don't understand what they're expected to do

01:17:20
Strong Family relationships, movement breaks, snack

01:17:27
the students wou

01:17:29
We have had success with helping students name emotions independently using their own mood meters

01:17:31
fidgets for kids to use during school time

01:17:40
I think it has been super helpful to do introductions of our teams members through fun videos!!

01:18:16
Sophia that's a great idea

01:19:11
being okay with not knowing, with not understanding

01:19:22
we're all in this together

01:19:56
michael, totally agree with that one! being a little vulnerable

01:20:06
Michael-yes!

01:20:31
for inclusion -- https://www.bgca.net/Programs/Pages/Embracing-Inclusion.aspx

01:21:01
many of those trainings are available on http://slu.csod.com/

01:23:21
Yes!

01:25:51
Thank you Kate!

01:26:00
Thank you

01:26:20
Thank you

01:26:35
Thank you

01:26:35
OMG chock full! Thank you, Kate E.

01:28:43
Great, thx Kate

01:28:56
Great information! Thanks so much!

01:29:31
can you share the link again to the recording ?

01:29:43
thank you

01:29:44
great information thank you so much!

01:29:52
Thank you very much!

01:29:57
thank you

01:30:32
Anyone have any technical difficulties with bandwith with all the kids on google classroom or zoon at once?

01:30:40
regarding alternative activities to provide youth during breaks- are there any available through bgca (power hour?)

01:31:20
Again thank you Melissa Jordan Raleigh Red Shield Club

01:31:54
Some schools are providing their students with hot spots

01:32:37
for alternative activites, I'd recommend MyFuture.Net

01:32:51
@Liliana I think Bgca has a playbreaks source available

01:32:53
yes, Liliana! go to the padlet and look at tutoring resources. all links are there.

01:33:13
What is the ideal youth to adult ratio? Keeping in mind different ages, grades and schools, and different curriculum and learning approaches/expectations?

01:33:56
Our schools provide hotspots available for kids that need it, maybe the schools may have some available for you

01:35:05
Create binders with copies for each group for staff to use

01:35:13
has anyone put kids into family groups?

01:35:43
Yes we were required to keep family members in the same group. That presents its own challenges

01:35:51
Hi susan, yes we did that over the summer

01:36:15
Staff have created a schedule chart for each group to keep track of times of lunches for all the youth in their group

01:36:21
Related to what Michael says we do velcro boards so we know who is where in their cohort for the day

01:36:35
did you find that there was actual time during the leaning/school time to provide a club experience with our programs? or did you do it at the end of the learning day?

01:36:56
Color coded bracelets

01:37:20
Good idea K

01:37:21
We're working on a big communal board for all the kids in our individual space to be able to put their dates for tests/papers/ classes etc, so

01:37:41
Good idea Kamilah!

01:37:52
I like the idea about designating when kids are in live classes versus self directed learning

01:38:20
We are grouping (less than 10) per 1 staff keeping siblings together and by grades

01:38:36
We do no more than 10 in each group with at least 1 staff but can have up to 2. Depends on capacity of the space. We plan to keep schools together to keep it as much like a school experience as possible

01:40:14
In greater Washington its 8-9 students and 1 staff. per room. The admittance numbers are preset according to building/room size and CDC guidelines. Each group is according to their age/grade

01:41:00
Scheduled hand washing and safety breaks

01:41:19
One person per computer, all computers get sanitized after use during transition time

01:41:45
Our students bring their own chromebooks

01:41:55
Currently, we have 4 staff for approximately 25 members. And our building is with a total of 130.

01:41:57
staff use gloves and change gloves when touching youth's devices

01:42:03
@Shauna do you have them clean it prior to coming into the Club?

01:42:39
No... we haven't done that they just wash or sanitize their hands

01:43:02
For members to know how long to wash their hands, we have them sing the happy birthday song. It keeps their energy up too!

01:43:59
@Kate do you use the mister bottles or what do you put it in?

01:44:30
We've been getting items for each kid to keep if the items used cannot be sanitized.

01:45:03
We covered our laptops with saran wrap and changed them after every use. We provided color coded lanyards and every child had their own personal bin of supplies including their own hand sanitizer.

01:46:25
We conduct daily Safety meetings during summer camp and will continue.

01:46:59
Any suggestions for clubs doing full virtual to assist with recruitment/ retention and engagement with members?

01:47:15
There has to be a balance to because there is a fear with some of our kids that covid is everywhere and everyone is going to get sick

01:47:31
Just a little bit of hydrogen peroxide to disinfect the inside of the spray bottle and then fill the bottle with rubbing alcohol (at least 70%). The higher the percent of rubbing alcohol the stronger the smell, so you can also put a few drops of essential oils in there if you wish. Make sure your spray bottle has a mist spray. And be careful- this is highly flammable and you will need to label the bottle with what you put in there (you can’t have a blank bottle filled with clear liquid…it’s a safety hazard)

01:47:34
Is staff burnout an issue? how do you address?

01:50:13
Checking in with every staff more than once a day asking specific questions

01:50:22
And, chocolate!

01:51:09
Schedule in half days

01:51:48
We do staff “play” breaks; each staff or staff pairing has the opportunity to run a different game or activity on staff Fridays

01:51:50
yes on chocolate

01:52:00
kate… what was the app?

01:52:03
Staff Highlights of the Week in staff lounge such as Ms. Becca breakdaning with youth, Ms. Carolina doing yoga with the kinders

01:52:31
Team Reach- it’s a free app that you can post pics, messages, polls, etc.

01:52:48
Thank you!

01:53:51
I wanted to thank every one of you for your time. You all are truly doing amazing work and please know that what you do is appreciated, loved, and valued!!

01:57:21
