The Big 6 for Service Learning
Wear a Watch
Be on time and ready. Our students and teachers will be looking forward to you coming everyday. You wont have your phones and laptops out anymore when you enter lab and internships, so get a watch to keep up.
Dress for a Job
Every experience you have in a school from now on is like a job interview. Dress professionally and respectfully. ( 4 inch dresses and skirts)
Take Initaive
The beauty of this SL experience is that we try to put you with students and practicing your craft as much as possible! Take advantage of the opportunity and jump in.
Soak in the Freebies
Pay attention to everything around you- procedures in the classroom, how teachers organize notebooks, the type of work each grade level is doing, school behavior plans. These are "freebies" that will help mature you as a new teacher.
Keep it Confidential
Keep student information and pictures of students off of social media and out of conversations. Our students come from diverse backgrounds and experiences, but all need extra love. Start this good practice now.
Get a Teacher Voice
Start now trying out your positive management strategies. Teaching young children is the most fun you can ever get paid for, but you have to set boundaries. Pay attention to cause and effect situations like: changing seating arrangements, non verbal cues, positive praise, pace of a lesson.
