Teams Meeting on - TBD
- All instructors should tentatively accept the invite so that the recording can be accessed.
- If an instructor is unable to attend live, watch the recording and email by 5/28 to confirm reviewing content.
Compensation for Instructors at Summer Institute may be any one of the following:
- On Contract (no additional compensation, can register for credit)
- Instructor Rate ($50/hr) with no credit
- Co-Instructor Rate ($40/hr) with no credit
- Participant Rate ($35/hr) + Register for the class and purchase PSD credit
Upon submitting the Class Idea Proposal Sheet, connect with Kim about a request to go off campus for approval. The expectation is that all classes are held at the designated PSD school location - rationale for leaving campus for part of a class should be based in class outcomes, experiential learning, or lack of resources at the designated location.
In the unique and rare situation where Individual departments are contracting with a non-PSD employee as the instructor of an SI class, the following procurement and budget steps need to be followed:
- Get a quote for the cost of the services.
- If the external instructor is not an active vendor:
- Department Office Manager enters a ticket using the request type Finance>Contracts and Purchase Requests
- A PO will be generated and sent to the vendor once the contracting process is complete.
- The external instructor submits an invoice after services are received (the class happens).
- Department Office Managers enter a ticket using the request type Finance>Accounts Payable to have payment processed.

At the start of your class...
Internet/cell service is hit and miss at RMHS. We will be using the printed sign in sheets for all sessions.
The printed sign in sheet will be in your room.
Have participants sign in on the sign in sheet when they arrive.
PL will pick up the sign in sheet 15 minutes after session has started and leave a bright pink sign in sheet for late arrivals.
For anyone that is more than 15 minutes late, have them sign the bright pink sign in sheet. Use this bright pink back up sign sheet also if anyone needs to leave early. Send anyone with questions down to the PD Table. If PL does not pick up your bright pink sheet. Return the bright pink sheet to the PL Table at the end of each day.
If anyone joins your class on the first day that is not on the sign in sheet and you are not aware of any previous special arrangements, send that person to the PD Table to determine if they can join the class.
Establish routines or do activities to build community in your class and help participants transition into learning.
Set the norms and expectations with your group: sticking to daily schedule, full participation, collaborative respect, etc.

HAVE SOME FUN while learning!
Confirm Instructor Compensation information by 5/17 - available below in Important Documents. If you are selecting to purchase credit, be sure to register for the class!
Review the External Instructor Agreement, Off Campus Agreement and submit if applicable by 5/24 to Janelyn.
Review the room assignment for your classes - listed in the SI2026 schedule of classes and floor plan of RMHS will be below the schedule (Home)
Room assignments were intentional for the class and within the scope of all classes being offered.
Each room has a TV display; instructors need to bring a PSD device to connect.
For accessibility leverage and use the mic system in each classroom.
Instructors are welcome to rearrange the desks or tables in the classrooms (summer cleaning happens after).
Do NOT open windows or prop doors. This counteracts the air flow in the building.
On any given day, we have some classrooms not in use but this varies per day. Talk with PD if you want or need a breakout space.
Lunch will NOT be provided for instructors.
All Gender Restrooms, Family Lactation Room, and safety exits will be identified on the posted location floorplan..

Have all participants complete the Summer Institute feedback survey - Bitly or QR code to the right or linked on the Home page.

Slides for Instructors
Slides for Instructors
This slide deck has been created for your optional use. You can import slides into your slide deck or use some of the images (Equity Centered Norms of Collaboration, Circle Agreements, etc.).
Also, if you are not using your own fun slides template, you can use the PSD template. By importing at least one of the slides or creating your own copy of this deck, you then have the template of different slide layouts.
