SayPro Event Coordinators: Scheduling and Coordination of Academic Support Sessions for SayPro Monthly February SCDR-1
Role Overview: The SayPro Event Coordinators play a crucial role in ensuring the smooth operation of the academic support and enrichment programs offered by the SayPro Community Development Office (CDO). Specifically, this role involves the meticulous coordination of the SayPro Monthly Educational Support sessions under the SayPro Development Royalty (SCDR) framework. The February session for SCDR-1 is a key event that necessitates thorough planning and scheduling to ensure that academic support is provided to students with the alignment of available tutors and facilitators.
Responsibilities:
- Scheduling of Academic Support Sessions:
- The primary task of the SayPro Event Coordinators is to schedule the academic support sessions that will take place as part of the SayPro Monthly Educational Support program for the February cycle under SCDR-1.
- The coordinators must ensure that the sessions are spread out throughout the month to allow for maximum student participation while also considering the academic calendar, holidays, and other factors that may affect attendance.
- They will coordinate with the tutors, facilitators, and volunteers to ensure that their availability aligns with the planned sessions. This includes confirming and cross-checking schedules to avoid conflicts and ensure that each session has the necessary support staff.
- Aligning with Tutor and Facilitator Availability:
- The Event Coordinators will need to actively engage with tutors and facilitators to collect their available time slots for February. This may involve sending out availability forms or conducting direct communication to gather the needed information.
- Once availability is confirmed, the coordinators will input these into a master schedule, ensuring that every session has the right number of staff available. They will be responsible for confirming the final schedule with all parties involved and updating it as necessary if any changes occur.
- In cases where a tutor or facilitator is unavailable, the coordinators will need to find replacements or reschedule sessions, ensuring minimal disruption to the academic support program.
- Communication with Students and Stakeholders:
- Once the sessions are scheduled, the Event Coordinators will notify the students who will benefit from the academic support program, ensuring they are informed about the dates, times, and locations of their sessions.
- They will also communicate with the SayPro CDO team to confirm all details of the academic support sessions, ensuring that any logistical support (e.g., venue booking, equipment, materials) is provided in advance.
- In addition to direct communication with students and staff, the coordinators will also handle reminders as the sessions approach, sending out confirmation emails or messages to participants and support staff.
- Logistical Coordination and Support:
- The SayPro Event Coordinators will assist with logistical arrangements such as booking rooms or virtual platforms for the sessions, setting up materials and resources needed for each session, and ensuring that tutors and facilitators have access to all required tools and documents.
- They may also arrange for refreshments or other materials (such as workbooks, handouts, or study aids) to be available at the sessions, where applicable.
- Monitoring and Troubleshooting:
- During the month, the coordinators will monitor the status of the sessions and ensure that each one runs smoothly. They will be on hand to resolve any issues, such as technical difficulties for online sessions or last-minute cancellations from tutors or students.
- If there are any unexpected changes, such as a tutor’s illness or scheduling conflict, the coordinators will step in to find a suitable solution, whether by rescheduling or finding a replacement facilitator.
- Data Collection and Reporting:
- Following the completion of the February SCDR-1 sessions, the SayPro Event Coordinators will gather feedback from participants (both students and staff) to assess the effectiveness of the academic support provided.
- They will compile reports on attendance, session feedback, and any issues encountered during the scheduling process, which will be used to improve future sessions.
- This feedback may also be shared with the SayPro CDO and development teams to inform the planning of future educational support sessions.
Key Skills and Competencies:
- Strong Organizational Skills: Ability to manage multiple schedules and tasks efficiently to ensure no conflicts or errors in scheduling.
- Communication Skills: Clear and concise communication with students, tutors, facilitators, and the CDO team to ensure everyone is well-informed.
- Problem-Solving: Ability to handle scheduling conflicts, cancellations, or other issues as they arise, ensuring minimal disruption to the program.
- Attention to Detail: Ensuring accuracy in the scheduling process, and handling logistical details with precision.
- Time Management: Effectively managing time to meet deadlines, keep up with communications, and provide timely updates to all stakeholders.
This comprehensive coordination of the SayPro Monthly Educational Support sessions is a vital aspect of the SayPro Community Development Office’s efforts to provide academic support and enrichment to the community, empowering students to achieve their educational goals. The February SCDR-1 event is part of a broader initiative that will be continuously improved with each cycle, guided by the feedback and data collected from this and future sessions.
