Transfer Tasks
Email your team leader and introduce yourself. Request curriculum maps for the classes you’ll be teaching. Blind Carbon Copy your mentor on the email so they know and can support that effort.
What questions do you have for members of your school staff (e.g. custodian, librarian, lab technician, secretary, counselor, team member, etc.)? Email the list of questions to your mentor. Your mentor may wish to pass on your questions and/or arrange a face-to-face meeting.
Get your keys to your room. Take a selfie of yourself at the door and another inside. Then identify its location on the school map, your team leader’s room, and your mentor’s room. Email these to your mentor.
Check to make sure all of your equipment is working properly. Email your mentor if anything is missing. If you have trouble getting something to work, email and arrange a time for your mentor to come and help you.
Take stock of the supplies and materials you already have in your classroom. What else do you need? What does the school provide? What will you need to buy with your new teacher money? Contact your mentor to discuss school resources and make a plan for getting the supplies you need.
