East Harlem Tutorial Program reviews

Dear Reviewer, Thank you for your feedback. Our team receives your input with much consideration. We want to note that our organization has been taking strides to enforce our anti-racist work in our practice. While we understand that doing the work as abolitionists is an ongoing and relentless effort, and that eradicating racism in a professional space is continuous work, we keep our anti-racist mission at the center of everything we do, from outsourcing new staff, to hiring new staff and supporting such staff in their first 90 days of employment. Examples of what this looks like on our Recruitment Team include: ensuring our hiring practices are equitable; conducting anti-biased training for our hiring managers to norm; and discussing our new compensation scale in hopes that this initiative helps us close our income inequality gap. We take your advice on supporting staff in their anti-racist training very seriously and will take the opportunity to review this feedback with our school leaders in preparation for the upcoming school year. We hope that this information provides some insight into our growth and development here at EHTP and we wish you the best of luck in your career development! Stay safe and be well.

Dear Reviewer, Thank you for your feedback. Our team receives your input with much consideration. We love our students as well as our staff and we pride ourselves on #BuildingLove here at EHTP, ensuring that every member of our community feels like they are a part of a second family of their own. Our school leadership and operations teams make considerable efforts to ensure the safety of students and staff on all of our school sites. All of our classrooms are well equipped with proper sterilization cleaning tools and hand sanitizer to prevent the risk of spreading COVID-19. We've seen spikes in cases at all the same times that the city as a whole has, and never had an indication that spread was happening at school (cases have largely been disconnected in time and space, suggesting that students are infected outside of school). We provide staff testing three times per week, we've been more aggressive than DOE policy dictates in implementing measures like classroom closures, virtual learning, and restricted campus access. As a result of our efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19 cases in our schools, our positivity rates have remained, throughout the pandemic, dramatically lower than the surrounding neighborhood and the city at large. We hope that this information provides some insight into our growth and development here at EHTP and we wish you the best of luck in your career development! Stay safe and be well.
