FAQ

Q.I had a great experience with my volunteer, how can I let others know?

If you had a great experience in your classroom, please leave a comment in the review section on your volunteer’s profile. Also, we would love to hear about your experience. Please send us a message here indicating that you’d like to leave positive feedback.

Q.Can a volunteer search for schools and request to speak?

At this time, volunteers may not search for specific schools and request to speak. Volunteers can register and create a profile, and teachers can search for volunteers that meet the needed criteria.

Q.How do I coordinate scheduling a presentation with a volunteer?

Once you have chosen a volunteer, you can communicate through KidTeacher’s secure messaging system in which your email address remains invisible to the recipient. KidTeacher recommends limiting the exchange of personal information.

Q.Who assumes the responsibility of verifying the credibility and background of volunteers?

KidTeacher does not vet volunteers. All volunteers should be required to follow institutional guest registration policies upon arrival.

Q.How can I contact KidTeacher directly to discuss my experience?

Please email us at info@KidTeacher.org. If you need to report a negative incident, please email us immediately or use the secure messaging system on our contact page.

Q.Is there any cost associated with being a volunteer or finding a volunteer?

KidTeacher is a free resource for both educators and volunteers. No advertising is done and no products are offered for sale.

Testimonials

I’ve seen many different teaching styles during my 40 years in education but one thing remains the same – kids learn best when interested in the subject being taught. Having a real person come into a classroom to talk about their profession captures children’s imaginations. I wish KidTeacher had been created a long time ago! I would have used it regularly.

Thanks KidTeacher! You make teaching easier for me and more fun for my kids.

Kristin T.

My students love it when I have guest speakers come talk about their careers, especially if they bring visuals – their favorite was a veterinarian who brought in several different animals. I never would have found her if it wasn’t for KidTeacher.

KidTeacher opens doors for me as an educator. No more struggling to find a person from a particular profession to come speak to my class. It makes lesson planning much easier and makes lessons much more interesting for my students.
