Monitor Duties |
Teachers may request to have a monitor for their class. Monitors will perform many of the duties listed under Teacher's Responsibilities. Ultimately, the teacher is still responsible but a monitor will assist. Monitors pay 1/2 the price of the tuition for that class/workshop, as a way to compensate them for the duties they will perform before, during and after the class. This does not apply to "Major Workshops." To become a monitor, students must first attend and pass a "Monitor Class". This class is usually taught by the Education Director and is only taught a few times a year. Teachers may request specific monitors and teachers are expected to provide feedback on how well their monitors performed. If there are multiple monitors asking to monitor a class, the Education Director and teacher decide together which person will monitor the class. Monitors may have to take turns so that others get a chance to monitor. |

VII. PADLET - A resource for teachers |
Teachers have an option to use Padlet. This is an online place for teachers and students to post/share their work and to have online discussions. If the teacher selects this option, we will include a paragraph, like the one on the left to list a link to the padlet page designated for that class. There is also a link to instructions on how to use Padlet for first time users. |
