Tips for Docent Aids Before your session: - Attend session planning meetings to discuss the upcoming topic (usually the third week of the month at 9 a.m. in the Ravensworth Cafeteria). Check the Calendar for exact dates/times.
- Help complete any craft prep required for your session.
- Read the write-up of the artist/topic (available via GRACE Art DropBox and in the blue folder on the GRACE Art cart).
- Review the poster portfolio online or stored with the GRACE Art cart.
- Review the craft via the GRACE Art DropBox.
During your session:- Meet your docent outside your classroom door 5 to 10 minutes before your session time.
- Watch the time. We usually have 50-60 minutes. Verify this with your teacher.
- Pass out materials.
- If you are running late or cannot come, contact the others doing your presentation with you as soon as possible.
- Encourage students when they are stalled or self-conscious. We do not have enough materials for "do-overs." If a student feels they have made a mistake or don't like what they have done, help them be "art-smart" and make the most of it.
- Help clean-up and getting out of the classroom on time. The teachers need us to be on schedule.
- Have fun!!
After your session: - Help your Docent restock the cart for the next docent's session
