15 IMPORTANT INFORMATION OUR INSTRUCTORS Our instructors are chosen for their knowledge, maturity, leadership and ability to relate to children. The vast majority of our staff are university students or recent graduates, and many are studying to become teachers in the Faculty of Education. To ensure that we employ only the highest quality staff and instructors, we provide three weeks of paid training that includes everything from lesson planning to epi-pen use. As well, all staff are certified in CPR and First Aid and have clear background checks. BEHAVIOUR MANAGEMENT POLICY Above all, Mini U’s goal is for its participants to have fun in a safe learning environment. To ensure that everyone has fun, we do three main things. VOLUNTEERING AT MINI U 1) Explain Our Rules: Classroom rules and our expectations are clearly defined at the start of camp. Participants are made aware that behaviours which cause emotional or physical harm, disrupt the camp, or damage facilities or equipment are not tolerated. Is your 12+ year old child interesting in volunteering for Mini University for the summer? Please e-mail [email protected] or call 204-727-7376 for more information. 2) Train Our Instructors: As part of staff orientation, we train our staff in classroom management and behavioural management techniques. Brandon University is pleased to offer a residence program for groups wishing to attend Mini University.
