Organize a summer enrichment classes committee. Put a notice in the school paper, send out an email to parents or have students take home a note saying that you are looking for people to sit on the enrichment classes committee. Specify that four or five people are required and provide your contact details.
Have an enrichment classes committee meeting and delegate responsibities. One member, for example, might be in charge of finding a place to hold the enrichment classes, while another is going to investigate how much supplies will cost.
Decide on the enrichment classes that will be offered. For instance, you may want to offer Spanish immersion with native speakers. Other ideas include a book club, and/or advanced science or mathematics workshops.
Calculate the student fees. Add up the costs, including building rentals, equipment and instructors' fees and supplies, and figure out how much students needs to pay to cover costs. Add an extra 10 percent to cover anything you may have missed. If there is money left over, you can put it toward an end-of-classes picnic.
Hire teachers. Advertise in local papers, put up notices on the staff bulletin board at the school and put out the word that you are looking for teachers. If you get more applications than available positions, arrange interviews and select the staff.
Advertise the enrichment classes. Let people know which classes are being offered and where they will be held. Also, include a clause that deposits will only be refunded if the minimum enrollment is not met.
Organize a timetable for enrichment classes. Figure out the most logical sequence for classes if there are time or space conflicts. During the summer, for example, schedule physical activities in the morning when it is cooler and have math workshops indoors during the hottest part of the day.
Monitor the success of the enrichment classes. At the end of each class, interview younger children or have a survey available for older elementary students to find out what they thought of the class and if they feel they improved. Request feedback from parents and ask for suggestions about how the classes could be improved for next summer.
