f--wysiwyg\">\n\n    \n  <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By Wednesday afternoon of Week Five, the JEP House is always buzzing. Program Assistants move between staff offices to clarify questions, front office assistants help with TB test uploads, and, in this year\u2019s case, the buzzing was quite literal due to an unusual increase in mosquitoes on the JEP porch \u2026but that\u2019s a story for another day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most common sight, though, is students arriving one after another to pick up their assignment packets, sitting down with our Program Assistants and learning the details they have been waiting for: which school or organization they\u2019ll be working at, what grade they\u2019ll be teaching or supporting and what their JEP experience will look like for the rest of the semester.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For some, that might mean discovering they\u2019ll soon be figuring out how to introduce geology concepts to a kindergarten classroom. For others, it could mean being matched with a student as a mentor or tutor, supporting a teacher in the classroom or working with a community organization.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But long before a student receives that packet, a lot has already happened behind the scenes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each semester, JEP staff and student leaders work through a complicated process that takes into account students\u2019 USC courses, schedules and transportation, along with the specific needs and availability of JEP\u2019s partner schools and classrooms. Program Assistants organize students into mini-teams or specific individual assignments, while JEP\u2019s school partners and staff work together to find the right placement for each group or individual.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By the time \u2018Pickups Week\u2019 arrives, those moving pieces finally come together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAssignment pick up time is a really important time at JEP because we are working to coordinate so many different moving parts,\u201d said Anya Shah, JEP\u2019s Program Assistant Coordinator. \u201cWe\u2019re working with the schools and community organizations and are making sure that any USC students we\u2019re sending to these sites have all of the requirements expected of them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those requirements include training, a negative TB test and Live Scan clearance. But checking those boxes is only half of the fun.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe\u2019re also working with students as they navigate this really busy time of getting their assignments, learning about the school that they\u2019re working at, which classrooms they\u2019re going to be in and what grade they\u2019re going to be working with,\u201d Shah said. \u201cWorking with second graders and working with high schoolers or middle schoolers is a very different experience.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During Pickups, students sit down with one of our Program Assistants to review their assignments, confirm that their schedules still work and walk through the materials they\u2019ll use throughout the semester. And because schedules can change between sign-ups and Week Five, there is inevitably some troubleshooting along the way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That, too, is part of the process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Fiona Martin, a junior majoring in Behavioral Economics who is participating in JEP through a psychology course, the experience left her feeling ready to begin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI signed up for JEP because I love working with kids and I wanted to broaden my experience in that context,\u201d Martin said. \u201cGoing here and going through all the assignments and instructions, I felt really prepared, and I\u2019m so excited to start.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For many students, picking up their assignment is the moment their JEP experience becomes real: they learn where they are going, who they will be working with and what the semester ahead will look like. And the following week, they finally step into their schools and partner sites, meet the people they\u2019ll be working with and begin turning an assignment on paper into a semester of real relationships and experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":93,"featured_media":4171,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,42],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4168","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-jep-blog","category-whats-new-at-the-jep-house"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 -
