I used this teacher training and thought I would pass it on. Even though it’s common sense, sometimes volunteers need to be reminded.

BE READY

• One of the most important things that will happen in your class is what happens before you ever get there.
• Prepare your lesson.
• Prepare spiritually.

START OUT WITH A GOOD IMPRESSION

• If you come to class 10 minutes late and unprepared, the class will take over during the free time.
• Parents, especially new parents will feel uncomfortable leaving their children in a class with a teacher who is late.

• BE READY TO GREET THE CHILDREN AND THEIR PARENTS.

DON’T PLAY THE “WHERE ARE YOU?” GAME

• Do not release children without their parents.
• Do not release children to people you don’t know.
• Do not release your class to another classroom teacher.
• Do not release children to teenagers or other children.
• Be with your children at all times.
• If a child has to go to the restroom, have someone either take them or watch for them.
• Don’t draw children out of other classrooms to help you. Then their teacher won’t know where they are.
• If you must allow an older child to go to the restroom alone, use the buddy system.

CAN YOU BE TRUSTED?

• Can you be trusted to model a lifestyle to the children that their parents would want them to imitate?
• Can parents trust you to be loving and respectful to their children?
• Will you safeguard children’s safety when they are in your care?
• Can children trust you to be faithful to be there on time for them or to make arrangements when you can’t be there?
