What your Teacher Website Can Include:
What your Teacher Website Can Include:
Welcome Message - This is the first thing students and families see when they visit your site. Make sure it is updated each school year.
Contact Information - Email and/or classroom phone number. Kick it up a notch by adding a schedule of when you are available by phone and email and when students or their families should expect to hear back from you. This clearly sets boundaries of when you are available and sets the expectation that you don’t look at your inbox after 7 PM on Wednesdays and won’t respond to any after-hours emails until the next morning.
Teacher Bio - For your students, include a few fun, icebreaker facts about yourself that will help them get to know you better. For their families, you can include your training and education, volunteer activities, and accomplishments.
Class schedule - List the class periods, along with the times and courses.
A page for each course - You can include the course description, syllabus, and grading policies.
