- Effective and engaging use of technology
- Parent Help Desk & Referral Service
- Mental and behavioral health counseling

PCS is a network of Black community leaders, business leaders, union leaders, elected officials, and concerned citizens convened a group of experienced educators to develop a community-led education recovery plan that adds a “web of support” around Philadelphia’s Black children impacted by the extended closure of schools. The group is led by Sandra Dungee Glenn, former Chairperson of the School Reform Commission and current member of the Pennsylvania State Board of Education.
The PCS Learning Pod and Parent Resource Center will provide:
- Instructional support for virtual learning
- Supplemental lessons and activities to close learning gaps by experienced instructors
- Effective and engaging use of technology

Finally, PCS is also hiring a site director, program coordinator and instructors for the learning pods and parent resource center. You can apply today here or email info@pcslearningpods.com for more info.
REMINDER: Pennsylvania is in the Green Phase, but we still need you to wear your masks when you go into businesses and may interact with large groups of people. It is critical we take the necessary steps to continue to slow the spread of the coronavirus COVID-19.
