=Stuff Fellows Might Need=

(when teaching in a school)


 * An **introduction**. Here are a couple examples: [[file:2009 Winter Intro.ppt]][[file:2009 Fall GK12 Intro.pptx]]
 * A **plan** for the first day. Here are a few things to consider: [[file:First Day in the Classroom.doc]]
 * A **cart**. A great place for demos and carrying the day's materials from class to class.
 * Access to a **computer** and **projector**. Some fellows like to show pictures of their labs on the first day, as well as pictures of other interesting things.
 * **Work/Prep space**. This could be in the teacher's lounge, the back of a classroom, or even a really large closet. Be sure the space is somewhere where it will be the least disturbing to teachers or students.
 * Access to the **copier**, so the fellow can make copies of handouts.
 * **Students' names**. The kids can wear name tags for a few days, or class photos or a yearbook for the fellow to study will also work.
 * **Teacher/Staff Names.** It's nice to know the people who you are going to be working with
 * **Medicine/Placebos.** Children are disease vectors, so you might want to bring Airborne, Zicam, vitamin C, cough drops, etc. Whatever you need to feel better and still teach.
