I will be volunteering as a helper. What is expected of a helper?
Basically, helpers are there to help the teacher, and they are just as important to the success of the class as the teacher. Each class has at least one helper to ensure two adults per class. Helpers are expected to fill in for the teacher if she is absent, help the teacher keep track of time so students will not be late to their next class, participate actively in class, assist students who need extra help, handle discipline in the classroom, help the teacher gather supplies and implement lessons, and help clean up when class ends. If a helper is not a teacher or team teacher elsewhere, she may be asked to teach at least once during the semester.
