Sunday School Teacher Expectations
Have fun!! The kids will have fun if you are having fun :) We want to establish an environment of exploration, wonder, excitement and adventure as we explore God together
Teaching Lessons. You will be provided with a lesson plan and all the materials needed for that plan. Feel free to adapt as you wish, as long as your students are able to explore the main key points provided in the lesson. Offer time for students to ask questions and explore their thoughts and feelings on the day’s key points and how this relates to their lives. Please foster an environment of kindness and acceptance, there are no wrong answers, simply a different interpretation of the question.
Gloria Dei Values. In sharing our stories together, we are reminded that we are all a part of this journey together and that we don't have all the answers. Our values are:
An Abundant Life Now, Life to Faith Stories, Active Participation, Open Spirituality,
Questions and Doubts
Check your kids in and out. When your class arrives in your room please greet them and check them in with your registration folder. Please check with the adult checking them in if someone different will be collecting them and make a note. At the end of the session please make sure to check your kids out only to a responsible adult (parent/grandparent etc) listed in your folder and leave the folder when you are done. There are a few instances where children MAY NOT be released to certain individuals. You will see a star beside their name and there will be a separate sheet in the folder listing that information. Check with Jenn if you have any questions
Maintain Privacy. Your kids may have medical info that you need to know, please don’t share that with everyone. Your crew might have discipline issues throughout the day, you don’t need to tell everyone about that. If there is additional information you need to know about a child there will be a star next to their name on the registration sheet and additional information will be provided on a separate page in your registration book. If you have any questions please ask Jenn.
Name Tags. Please make sure your kids all have name tags to help you out with your day. We will also have teacher name tags, please wear these so that parents know who is on team
Ask for help. You don’t have to know everything, you don’t have to do everything, if you need support feel free to ask! Someone is around for back-up support. If a member of your class is having a hard time we can help give them some time out, if you need help with a bathroom run… Anything at all!
