Throughout the year there are inservices on museum topics, often combined with a potluck lunch or staff breakfast. In June there is a full day outing, often to one of the Nova Scotia Museum branches such as Ross Farm or Uniacke Estate Park Museum. Your volunteer card entitles you to free admission to all 25 Nova Scotia Museum locations. Volunteer teachers are expected to come to the fall training program. Take part in 6 to 8 sessions over a 12 day period to prepare you for teaching and the subject you have chosen.
Training ends with a practice class.
If you join us later in the year, we can help get you up to speed. Arrive 30 minutes before class time to set up, then teach, learn and enjoy. Your job is to engage and inform the children. Discipline is the job of the classroom teacher. If you are ill, a substitute teacher list is available.
