Rule #1 Don’t do
more harm than good.

COME BEARING
GIFTS. If you can, leave everything with the teacher.
If you want to
involve students in an activity,
ALWAYS check with the teacher first to make sure they can handle it.
NEVER talk
down or up to students. The older the students, the easier
it is to talk with them. But will they listen? It depends on you.
Don't do more damage than good.
PRACTICE. PRACTICE. PRACTICE.
Find out
what the students have been studying and how much they know
about you and your topic. You can ask the teacher anything- they want
you to be successful.
WHAT IS YOUR
TOPIC? Is it relevant to what the students are studying?
Sometimes you can't make the “speech” you want because it doesn't fit.
NEVER EVER start a lesson, activity,
or program that takes more than your allotted
time, unless the teacher already knows they will have to
provide follow-up time.
YOU ARE SUCCESSFUL if you
get asked back. |
