A-B Tech Online - Help for Instructors Teaching Courses with High School Students
If your course enrollments include High school students, you may find the folowing material helpful:
- Course sections with High School students are expected to meet the same standards as all course sections.
- Be sure to provide full contact information and provide clear expectations regarding due dates, communications and engagement. Let students know your expected turnaround times with regard to email, phone and grading.
- In addition to your own contact information, include the contact information of the appropriate High School facilitator(s).
- When you place course announcements or deliver other significant course-related information to your students, be sure to email the appropriate High School facilitator(s) so thay they are fully informed.
- Encourage your students to maintain good communications. High school students especially may be reluctant to contact you with questions or concerns unless encouraged to do so.
- Consider ways to "humanize" your course by providing a picture or short video of yourself by way of introduction, and by the tone of your messages, instructions, and announcements.
