When You’re in the Classroom
• Communicate with the teacher prior to your visit• Ask about student needs• Share lesson with the teacher and ask for help with
supplies
• Create a lesson that is engaging and appropriate for students• Make connections between your job and the
student’s world• “An open mind is a creative mind”
