However, if you do obtain a sit-in teacher, it would be a great idea to try to pull them into the team - very slowly of course. Start asking them to come to some events, maybe even tempt them to lead some... They will surely become a major asset to your team, and the team will become a major asset to them.

This is absolutely correct, and I should have mentioned it when I posted before. Unless you get the supervising teacher involved, and at least somewhat interested in the team, they'll eventually dislike showing up just to sit around, which is not a good situation.
