Your Role as a Teacher/Chaperone

My Role as a Teacher:

  • Northeastern University is an open college campus – anyone can be on the campus grounds. Make sure to keep track of your students when moving around campus.
  • Classroom management is the responsibility of the teacher, not Northeastern staff. In addition, the rooms we use are in academic buildings – students are in class, studying, and/or working. Please make sure the students are working/speaking at a respectful volume.

The following guidelines are set forth by BPS Superintendent’s Circulars CAO-22/23. Please refer to your own district’s guidelines:
CAO-22: BPS General Guidelines and Procedures for all Field Trips

CAO-23: Day Field Trip Guidelines

My Role as a Chaperone:

Beyond the role/assignments given to you by the attending teacher, you are also responsible for:

  • Bathroom breaks – responsibility is on teachers/chaperones to bring students to/from bathrooms (ask volunteers for direction to bathrooms)
