What are my responsibilities if I join the co-op?
As members of the co-op, parents are expected to teach. If you join Explorers, you will be asked for your preferences of age group you would like to work with, and then placed on one of these parent teams. All of the parents who make up a particular team meet with their team leader to decide an appropriate slate of classes for the coming semesters. When you join the co-op, you may list an area of expertise or interest that you have, or list a subject/unit study that you have done with your own children at home. If you do not have an idea for a class, your team leader can assist you in coming up with an idea, as well as help you find resources and materials.
Members will receive an Instructor Training Packet with more information.
Members are also assigned a second co-op responsibility. Some examples include: set up, clean up, lunch duties, or assisting in the drama programs (There are approximately 35 different choices).
