First week duties: On the first day of class faculty members receive Session Schedules and announcements for that session. This “Opening Day Memo” (ODM) includes a schedule for the first day and week of the session. See the ODM Archive.
Times and some instructions may vary, but the essential functions, introduction, and orientation of students to classes at the ELI, remain the same. Faculty members must be in the ELI office by 8:15 on the first day of the session to receive this schedule and their student rosters.
On the first or second day of classes, teachers who are teaching the same classes or levels must meet to coordinate and provide assistance to new teachers.
At the end of the first week, there is a meeting to change students’ classes, if needed. All teachers are required to attend.
Syllabi must be distributed by Wednesday of the first week.
