In-school projects
From Akita Wiki
If you have a lot of free time and want to connect with your students outside the classroom, starting a project is a great idea. Your coworkers may well be very busy, which can limit your in-class contributions. On the other hand, if you are trying to get your own project going, no doubt many of them will be interested in helping you get started, provided you can do most of the work and upkeep. This is also a great way to get to know many students, and in particular students who aren't very engaged in English class.
