Be careful about recruiting teachers through mass appeals. Some may respond out of the wrong motives, such as the desire for acceptance, the desire to impress, or a sense of pity for the poor youth class with no teacher. Make job descriptions clear. Some volunteers fear being put in a perpetual teacher's position. A job description calling for a one-year commitment can alleviate those fears.
Time limits can also make terminating a teacher less traumatic.
Put the descriptions in writing. Without a job description, volunteers may never know if they are failing or succeeding. When you recruit, let volunteers know exactly what is expected of the position. Contacts students during the week by phone. Plans at least four class activities during the year.
