STRATEGIES TO HELPSCHOOL VOLUNTEERS

Paddy Eger,author of Educating America101: Strategies for Adult Assistants in K-8,suggests a number of strategies aimed athelping classroom volunteers be effective.

Here are some of the tips that she of-fers:

--If you are volunteering and have ques-tions for the teacher,schedule a time to talkwith the teacher when students are notpresent.Also, if the teacher has asked youto lead an activity, read the directions andgather supplies before you visit the class-room. Do not expect the teacher to leadyou through the exercise.

--Establish a consistent meeting place: Ifyour group will meet regularly, ask theteacher before your first visit to help youestablish a place that you can use everytime you visit. Nothing kills an activityfaster than spending valuable time lookingfor a place to work.

--Choose your seat wisely: Don’t sit atone end of a rectangular table.Sitting in themiddle seat along one side allows you tosee all of the students and reach out totouch their work. It also makes you part ofthe group, and allows you to speak in asofter voice. For round tables, sit so you –not the students – face nearby tables or

other distractions.--To help children become active listen-

ers, don’t repeat questions: If the studentsays he doesn’t understand the question,ask him to repeat what he thinks he heard.If the student is still confused, ask anotherstudent to rephrase the question. Onceagain, ask the first student to repeat whathe just heard.

--Be prepared for a change in plans:Havea “pocket activity”ready in case a schedulechange means you’ll have less time withthe children.This is a simple game, such asa math or spelling game,or a book or newsarticle that can be started or stopped at anytime without losing its value.
