Handover NotesClaudine

One of the challenges in running a volunteer program is continuity.  Sometime volunteers stay for a month, sometimes they stay for six months.  During the transition period, we try to minimize the impact on the students as much as we can.

We have implemented many methods to solve this problem including.

  • The ability to see your classes before you arrive.
    Here is one such class.
     
  • "Meet" your students
    Say "Hello" to Maria!
     
  • See how the student is performing
    Here is Maria's performance

We have now added the final piece of the puzzle in the form of handover notes.  These are notes left by former volunteers about tricks and tips for teaching a particular pupil.  Click here to see the handover notes for David and here for Arvie's.
