How many times have you explained the same expectations to a new teacher? At orientation, in the hallway, during a staff meeting, and again when something goes sideways in the room? It's not that your teachers don't care. It's that expectations spoken once, on a busy day, don't stick.

The Role Guide Collection puts those expectations in writing, in plain language, written directly to the teacher. She can hold it in her hands, reread it on a hard day, and come back to it when you coach. It keeps explaining when you can't be in the room.

Seven guides, one for every role in your building:

Infant, Young Toddler, Older Toddler, Preschool, Pre-Kindergarten, Floater, and Instructional Leadership.

Every guide follows the same five-part structure:

Part I: Start Here. For her first days. It tells her she belongs, that she isn't expected to know everything yet, and exactly where to begin, with a first-week and first-month checklist.

Part II: Getting to Know the Children. What children at that age can really do, so she responds to where they are developmentally instead of where she wishes they were.

Part III: Digging Into Daily Practice. The practical core: where to stand, how to carry the routine, what to say, and when to call for help, through arrival, play, conflict, transitions, meals, and cleanup.

Part IV: Know What to Do When It Gets Hard. How to reset herself first when the room falls apart, what never to do, and real examples from that age group.

Part V: Understanding the Deeper "Why." For teachers ready to grow, the reasoning behind everything they've been practicing.

No training required. Each guide assumes no prior knowledge of the Anchor Framework, so a brand-new teacher can pick it up and understand what's expected without you walking her through it.
