VOLUNTEER TEACHERS & PRESENTERS POLICY
September 1, 2007
Agia Sophia Academy is dedicated to providing a quality education to all its students, offering a wide ranging curriculum and a diverse curriculum touching on numerous subjects. In the spirit of providing a quality education, teachers may invite specialists and guests into the classroom to make a presentation to students, to teach a single session, or in rare occurrences, an entire unit. ASA recognizes that the Orthodox community as well as the Portland Community in general has numerous resources that can be tapped to enhance classroom learning, and thus, the school is dedicated to embracing these resources.
In order to maintain its high academic standards and to ensure quality instruction, all visiting teachers must be approved by the Headmaster at least one week prior to the visit. In addition, the Visiting Teacher form (see forms section) and an outline of what is to be presented must be turned into the Headmaster and approved by him/her at least one week prior to the visit.
It is the policy of ASA that the safety and well being of our students be of utmost importance. To that end, we require Volunteers, Teachers & Presenters to submit to a background check. The form is available in the Forms Section of this handout, and in the School Office. ASA will assume the cost of completing the background check.
ASA reserves the right to immediately revoke permission of any visiting teacher if ASA feels that said visiting teacher is not conducting themselves in a manner (or is presenting material) that does not accurately represent the mission and goals of the school.
