Communication Plan
A communication plan is essential for creating a list of what will be expected for a teacher/student and other stakeholders during a course. It provides an outline as to what needs to be done when, and the manner in which information will be communicated.
Welcome email:

It is important to recognize the difference between private communication and mass emails. Information about individual students or student progress should not take place on mass emails. My daughter was recently MORTIFIED by a coach who sent information in a mass email. He should have known better.
It is important to make individual contact by phone at the beginning of a class when possible in order to introduce yourself as a teacher to both the student and the parent and to answer any additional questions.
Document any special concerns or needs in a folder for each student in order to use for future reference.
