Floater

The Floater Teacher will aid in the implementation of the daily schedule and routine, leading activities, developing nurturing relationships, and ensuring the safety, security, and supervision of clients. First and foremost, the floater must be aware of the needs of each classroom. This means that they must be alert and listening for calls for help. Floaters will work in classrooms as needed when teachers are out. When responding to a call for help, the floater should ask the teacher for instructions. If the teacher is in the middle of some overwhelming situation, the floater should use their own judgment about what is needed. While helping in one room, the floater must remain aware of the other teacher's request for a floater. When finished helping one teacher, the floater should then check on teachers who called for help. If no one is calling for help, the floater should rotate from room to room asking if anyone needs assistance. If no one needs help, then the floater can do any of the following things:

• Pick a room that will in transition soon and will probably need a floater for that transition
• Pick a room that seems to need an extra hand and spend time getting to know them better
• Pick a room with children that they haven't had much time with so that they can begin to develop a relationship with them
• Look for something at the school that needs to be done such as: cleaning as needed, tidying up, gathering materials for an activity that a teacher has planned etc.
