PFAD Activities
Principal for a Day Activities
What do PFADs do on their visit?
A Principal for a Day generally starts at the beginning of the school day, however, the PFAD and the principal can determine a different time for the visit. There are no set parameters for what PFADs can do during their visit at a school. Careful matching of PFAD volunteers with schools and good planning sessions with principals usually ensure that the visit is productive for both parties.
Examples of PFAD activities:
- Engage in class discussions
- Make morning announcements over the PA system
- Address a class or assembly regarding their area of expertise
- Walk the hallways with an administrator
- Visit classrooms to observe instruction
- Teach classes
- Read to students
- Meet with the student council
- Meet with representatives of the parents association
- Review technology used in teaching
- Sit in on principal conferences or staff meetings
- Share lunch with students, parents, and/or faculty
- Conduct conflict resolution discussions
- Attend special activities or performances
