[quote=Anonymous]I think you're probably doing all you can do - I also prod a bit, try to be as accomodating as possible especially in the beginning to make sure AP attends cluster meetings, can take car to meet friends, etc. It's in my handbook but I also remind AP that she's welcome to have another AP over for lunch/coffee while kids are at school and if the kids are happy to play with other AP's kids, I'm happy for them all to do something together. Interestingly, I've tried to encourage APs to do a non-academic course (like art/craft/sport) or volunteer during the free hours in the middle of the day, but so far neither AP has done this. The only things I've gotten them to do are the gym and the regular academic course that they're required to take. During the school year my APs have a plenty of free time.[/quote]
