Teacher Specific
Thank you for being willing to commit yourself to the fulfillment of our mission to perfect the saints and reach the lost! Your role and involvement is absolutely crucial and as much as we are here to see the students be successful, without your success that can never happen. Below you will find a list of resources and information to help you be the teacher God has called you to be. We are here to support and encourage you, if you have any questions feel free to reach out to Bro. Tyler Montgomery his contact info is at the bottom of this page.
“Philip ran over and heard the man reading from the prophet Isaiah. Philip asked, “Do you understand what you are reading?” The man replied, “How can I, unless someone instructs me?” And he urged Philip to come up into the carriage and sit with him.”
Expectations
Teachers are expected to be dependable, committed, and conduct themselves professionally. Your role is to guide students and disciple them into the people God is calling them to be, this cannot be done without prayer and investing in our students.
Attendance
Teachers cannot miss their classes, no classes are to be rescheduled.
In emergency situations please reach out to the dean, Bro. Tyler Montgomery, and notify him as early as possible if it is impossible, due to unforeseen circumstances, to teach your scheduled class.
Professionalism
Teachers must communicate in a professional manner
This means using email to communicate with students or dean regarding classes.
Follow up with students in a timely manner if they have questions or need help with assignments.
You are not being asked to do their work for them but rather to provide them the help and tools for them to complete their own work.
Dress & Act appropriately for class sessions
Casual attire is fine
If online or recording your lesson be mindful of your surroundings (background noise, distractions, etc.)
Silence your cell phone and keep yourself focused on the class and material at hand
We have very limited time and cannot easily reschedule a class
In Person Classes
All Teaching Materials will be provided
Classes will be recorded for make-up opportunities
This is for your convivence to keep you from having to give up your time for make up classes.
You must stick to teaching schedule & be mindful of student’s time
Stay on topic, cover material only for that specific lesson
We do not have the ability to prolong these classes or push them out further.
Worksheets
Students will email teachers their worksheets every week.
Teachers are to grade/review the worksheets and make any appropriate comments on those sheets.
Students will receive their grade or comments by the following week via email from their teachers.
The intent of the Worksheets is to create accountability and open discussion of progress and understanding between the student and teacher.
Online Classes
All Teaching Materials will be provided
Classes will be pre-recorded and made available to students.
They can choose when to view that weeks class.
Online Classes require an accountability worksheet that must be completed by the student and submitted to the teacher before the next weeks lesson.
Accountability Worksheets will be provided to you, you do not need to create them.
Students must complete the class and corresponding accountability worksheet every week, they cannot wait until the last minute and watch all the classes and fill out all the worksheets in the last few weeks.
