INTRODUCTION
An 1872 list of rules for teachers, posted by a New York City principal, included:
Each teacher will bring a bucket of water and a scuttle of coal for the
day’s sessions. Men teachers may take one evening each week for
courting purposes, or two evenings a week if they go to church regularly.
After ten hours in school, the teachers should spend the remaining time
reading the Bible or other good books. Any teacher who smokes, uses
liquor in any form, frequents pool or public halls, or gets shaved in a
barbershop will give good reason to suspect his worth, intentions,
integrity and honesty.

The Booker T. Washington Way is an evolving teacher handbook that is not nearly as succinct as the list of rules in the first paragraph, nor is it as restrictive. The intent of this handbook is to provide instructional practices, policies, and procedures that we must all follow to ensure uniform practices. An understanding of these procedures will facilitate the educational process in our school.
The Booker T. Washington Way represents a good faith effort to present you in writing the policies, expectations, and procedures for all faculty and staff members. All staff members should familiarize themselves with the contents of this electronic handbook.
Information in The Booker T. Washington Way may be added or deleted as the school year progresses. The principal will notify all faculty/staff if changes are made.
