JA IN A DAY TEACHER RESPONSIBILITIES:

Learning cannot happen without discipline. Please remain in the classroom at all times to handle disciplinary actions.

We highly recommend not having a substitute on this day. We understand things come up, so if circumstances call for a substitute please be sure they are aware that a volunteer will be in the classroom and will need their full support throughout the day.

Please have a regular curriculum lesson or two prepared for the day; some volunteers may finish the JA lessons early.

There should be no specials and/or pull-outs throughout the day. Volunteers have taken time off of work based off of their schedules set by your principal and JA staff. Specials teachers will relieve you for your regularly scheduled planning time(s).

Volunteers are not teachers – please provide support and help facilitate activities as needed. We have trained the volunteers on Junior Achievement materials, but they have not had the extensive training and background that educators have. Your support is crucial and can affect both students and volunteer(s) experiences.

Stay in the classroom at all times to assist as needed.
