If you are already considered a Mandated Reporter due to another professional capacity or you've already completed the training, please upload documentation showing proof. Please note that training says it takes 4 hours but it actually goes much quicker.
3. Complete your background check by June 10th - if you did not work for Summer Springboard last summer, you will be receiving an email from DataSource. This is a timed link, so if you don't get it completed right away, you will need to have the request sent again. Please contact claudine@summerspringboard.com if you need a link refreshed.
California's Department of Justice (DOJ) requires all adults working with minors in CA to have fingerprinting completed before employment starts in order to check the FBI and CA DOJ criminal history database. Even if you have already completed a Live Scan for another purpose in CA, you still need to complete a Live Scan for Summer Springboard following these instructions. Results are not shared between entities. Once your results have been received by Summer Springboard, you will be notified. All SSB instructors will be reimbursed for the cost of the Live Scan up to $25. Please include the receipt and amount on the invoice that you submit at the end of the program. For instructors traveling from outside of CA, you will need to complete this upon arrival. There are a few LiveScan facilities nearby campus that do not require an appointment.
We will have a brief meeting at 8:45-9:00 AM the first morning of each session to review key information in the large Unit 1 Residence Hall courtyard (Team A - session 1,3 & 5) or Unit 2 Residence Hall courtyard (Team B - session 2, 4 & 6) before everyone heads off to their classroom. This will be the chance to meet the Asst Campus Director and SSB Mentor assigned to your classes as well. Any other details that we feel you need before the program starts will be sent via email. Please click through to your specific Berkeley Team website for details specific to your session. Here are the contacts for each of the Berkeley programs:
Assistant Campus Director for Team A: Jasmine Mathai - (619) 663-5671 (Sessions 1, 3 & 5)
Assistant Campus Director for Team B: Aimee Evo - (619) 320-8423 (Sessions 2, 4 & 6)
Campus Director for Middle School: Charles Roberts - (601) 228-9619
The students have a brief orientation from 9:00am - 9:45am on the first Monday of their session so you will have just under an hour to get settled into your classroom, test out technology, etc. Please be sure to bring an adaptor for your specific laptop that is suitable for connection to an HDMI input. Classes will not begin until 10:00am on the first day.
For the first day instructor orientation and daily parking as needed, please plan to park in the Underhill Parking garage which is situation underneath the recreation field on the block between Unit 1 and Unit 2 Residence Halls where all classes will be held except for Biotechnology, which will be held in Stanley Hall. Berkeley uses the ParkMobile app for easy parking payment and SSB will reimburse you for your parking fees during class time. Simply include screenshots of your parking receipts with your final invoice submission.
Instruction time begins promptly at 9:00 am daily, Monday-Friday. Please plan to arrive ahead of the start time in order to get settled. The mentors assigned to your Academic Track will be making sure that you can enter the building and the classroom, and that students are arriving on time to your class each day.
If you are teaching more than one session, it is possible the location of your classroom will change - if necessary, your Academic Track Mentor(s) assigned to be your liaison can also assist with moving supplies. You will be provided with the name and location and a visual aide for your classroom location in an email in advance.
Please let us know in advance what AV and classroom supply needs you may have. You will need to use your own laptop since the classrooms do not contain these. We will have projectors available but they will need to be requested in advance. There will also be flip chart and markers or a chalkboard w/chalk or whiteboard/dry-erase markers. Students will come with their own laptop and most likely a smartphone. We would ask that you provide an downloading instructions as soon as possible so that we may send these to families in advance of their students' arrival.
Please come prepared with any necessary printouts/photocopies for your sessions. This is a reimbursable cost.
Should you require any specialized supplies or materials, please submit your request to Claudine (claudine@summerspringboard.com) prior to June 10th. If you purchase your own supplies without pre-approval Summer Springboard will not provide reimbursement.
7. Curriculum/Session Content
In advance of the program, the course curriculum and all supporting documents will be shared with you via Dropbox or a Google Drive folder. If you have not received this by June 10th, please contact claudine@summerspringboard.com. If your are creating your own curriculum, please use this template (you will need to make a copy) for your daily slides.
We highly recommend you download any materials to your computer or flash drive/USB stick to mitigate any unforeseen technology glitches that may occur. We also recommend that you have a back-up plan (virtual guest speaker, short one-day assignment) for one day should for some unforeseen reason you are not able to teach for one of the days.
8. Excursions and/or Guest Speakers
Every course will have either an academic excursion planned or will host a guest speaker to further enrich the students' experience in the program. By now, you have worked with Claudine to ensure that times/locations have been established and guest honorariums secured, if necessary. Please email Claudine if you have any questions or changes to the plans so that alternatives can be explored prior to the date of the excursions/guest speaker visits.
