COMMUNITY RESOURCE BANK 
 
District Eleven instructional staff are offered access to specialized programs for enrichment, extension of the curriculum and staff development. 

How do I utilize it in my classroom? 

¨      Decide on a subject area and definite objective for the resource volunteer.  Please note that some topics are available only for certain grades.

¨      Complete a Community Resource Bank Teacher Request Form at least three weeks in advance of the date a Resource Volunteer is requested and forward to Volunteer Services.

¨      When the Resource Volunteer has been scheduled, the requesting teacher and the Resource Volunteer will receive written notification confirming the date, time and subject to be presented, as well as, an indication of equipment or materials needed for the program.

¨      Evaluation forms accompany the confirmation to give the requesting teacher and resource volunteer an opportunity to comment on their experience.  This feedback is valuable to the volunteer, the teacher and Volunteer Services.  Volunteer Services wants to insure a quality experience for District Eleven students.  Completing an evaluation allows us to improve the placement of the program and provide suggestions to volunteers for improvement.

¨      Thank you notes written by students are appreciated a great deal by the Resource volunteers.  You can put them in the inter-district mail and we will forward them to the volunteer.

¨      Special volunteers are available for adult audiences.

IF YOU FIND THAT A SPECIAL SUBJECT YOU WISH IS NOT LISTED,
PLEASE CALL AND WE WILL WORK TO HONOR IT.
