• As a teacher, you must:– post the class schedule or individual pacing guides– enter weekly “announcements”– contact the parents once a month– contact students every week
• Help the students, parents, Lab Facilitators as much as you can. – I had a student at a school who could not open assignments
or place them in the dropbox. Therefore, I opened the assignments and sent them as an attachment to the Lab Facilitator. After the student completed the work, the LF faxed me the assignments and I graded them.
