School Handbooks

My school puts an interesting twist on their teacher handbook.  The handbooks include numerous sections that act as a survival guide for teachers in the building.  Each teacher receives a binder of school procedures, the binders are to remain in the classroom in a spot that is also accessible for support personnel and subs.  The sections cover topics ranging from attendance, grading procedures, substitute information and emergency procedures.  When I started my mentoring program, my mentor and I went through the binder so that I would know where to find school procedures.  That knowledge and resource has helped me tremendously on a weekly basis.
