Teach Day Helps Seniors Appreciate Teachers Senior Teach Day, May 27, offered Seniors a new per- spective on a topic about which they believed they al- ready knew a great deal: teaching. As Seniors took over the roles of teachers, they quickly learned that teaching involves much more than writing on the board and issuing tardies. Before the actual class- room experience began, a great deal of planning and preparation was required. Teachers were sent letters which they returned if they de- sired to ‘‘hand over’’ the class period to a senior instructor. Next, interested Seniors were requested to sign up, listing the classes they preferred to teach. In the final step, teach- ers, classes, and students were matched together. Participating Seniors were required to meet at least twice with their teachers in order to make lesson plans and to pre- pare for the Teach Day. The day could not be wasted as Seniors were required to actu- ally and realistically teach in- formation pertinent to their subjects. In return for their hard work, participating Sen- iors were excused from the classes in the day (pending make-up work, of course). All things considered, Sen- ior Teach Day was a success for students and teachers who were offered a change of pace. Senior teachers real- ized, to a small extent, the work that goes into being a teacher. The Head Of The Class.
