How can we use madrichim (student aides) and/or parent volunteers in the Mitkadem classroom?
Student aides and/or parent volunteers can play an important role in the administration of the Mitkadem program. Teachers can always use assistance during class sessions to keep students on track, answer questions, and mark contracts as students complete activities. Parents or teen aides who are knowledgeable in Hebrew can help students with activities, tutor reading, and even serve as testers. Inviting parents into the classroom increases their involvement in the school, allows them to see firsthand what s happening in the school, and helps build a sense of community. Teen aides can serve as mentors for younger students, and the interaction between age groups can add to the sense of community in the school.
