GUEST TEACHERS

Valor’s Expectations for Students

LEARNING GOAL

Students will articulate and explore ways to show

respect to guests at Valor

Students will understand that misbehavior with a guest

teacher is serious and could result in a referral.

Students will understand that classes will be

recognized when a guest teacher leaves a good report!

WHAT IS A GUEST

As a class, share out the

definition of the word

“Guest.”

In groups have students discuss:

How do adults expect you treat a

guest in your home?

Groups share answers, teacher fills in T-chart on poster

or use document camera, board

If you thought about guest teachers

like they were guests in your home

how would you treat them?

How would you welcome

them into the classroom?

If you don’t know who they

are, how would you talk to

them? 

How would you help them

feel comfortable during their

day?

What are the ways you

could support more than your

regular teacher? Why?
