Teachers should provide an enthusiastic and supportive environment for their volunteer. Teachers should maintain order and discipline, assist the volunteer with activities if needed, and support an environment that is conducive to learning. Feel free to inform the volunteer of any behavioural or learning challenges your students may have, and give your volunteer an overview of your class’ dynamic and how to best engage your students.
If you are the lead teacher contact for JA programs at your school, please keep stay in touch with your JABC program team contact and respond to requests in a timely manner to ensure a positive and successful program delivery for students and volunteers.
