Form for Teachers / Professors
To ensure that the students gain the most from your Outreach Session with a TWC Speaker(s), please be sure to fill out the following form. TWC uses this information to assist us in partnering you with the most qualified speaking candidate. If you have specific requests for an individual (eg. requesting a speaker that graduated from your school/university), please be sure to include this information as well.
- It might be helpful to meet with your volunteer prior to their visit. However, if this is not possible, speaking with your volunteer prior to the visit is essential to help them be prepared. Please provide the volunteer speaker with curriculum information so they can align their presentation with the students' current studies. Don't hesitate to tell them what you expect them to cover and what materials may or may not be appropriate. It's useful to prepare your students for the visit. Provide them some background on what the volunteer speaker will be talking about and have them prepare questions ahead of time. Give those questions to the volunteer so they can be prepared to answer them. Please provide the volunteer speaker with basic school and classroom rules. Help the volunteer prepare for the age level/grade level by giving them some background on skills, learning styles, etc.
- Please do your best to introduce the volunteer in an appropriate time-slot. Often times the volunteer speaker has rearranged their schedule to accommodate the class, and might have obligations to tend to following the close of the engagement.
