• Review curriculum and practice activities and technology before teaching.
• Coordinate equipment and supply pickup and return with the owner.
• Inventory kits before and after programs; promptly report missing, damaged, or depleted items.
• Arrive early enough to unload, set up, and be fully prepared before students arrive.
• Lead engaging, age-appropriate lessons that encourage creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving.
• Maintain a safe, welcoming classroom and manage student behavior.
• Follow partner procedures for attendance, dismissal, room use, and safety.
• Communicate professionally with families and partner staff.
• Keep the owner informed about student concerns, partner feedback, scheduling issues, and supply needs.
• Keep building sets, robotics kits, iPads, and curriculum clean, organized, complete, and ready for use.
• Pack materials carefully and leave partner spaces clean and orderly.

• Promote upcoming programs and support community outreach.
• Participate in required training, meetings, and other assigned tasks.
