Visiting Teachers

One of the hardest and most frustrating parts of being a teacher is managing the fall out that regularly happens when you are out of the classroom. Last year we introduced a plan in our classroom that we had a lot of success with. This year we are running with this plan again.

If I am expecting to be out of the classroom, our visiting teacher plan jumps into action. Our class student leadership team is prepared to introduce the visiting teacher and to run a lot of the days lessons. If I am away unexpectedly, the same plan is used. There are a variety of day plans complete with resources that can be used on any given day. All of these plans stick to our daily routines.

If students arrive and I am not there, a student leader gets the folder and leads the day. I am really proud of how willing the boys are to take on this responsibility. It’s a great chance to show visiting teachers exactly what our class is all about. As a part of this package, we have also added a welcome video to the visiting teacher guide. Press play below to have a look.
