| Posted 9 months ago When I was teaching, I only expected the sub to keep his/her sanity and help the kids have a good day. I would leave plan a, b, c, and d to use at the sub's discretion. What really mattered to me was that everyone walked out of school happy at the end of the day. |

| Posted 9 months ago At the very least I need the sub to hold down the fort until my return. Best case scenario: Students enjoy the class and actually stick around and learn something. (Adult students have a tendency to take off on sub days) I leave simple directions in case I have a lazy sub but I also leave very detailed lesson plan/s in case I have a 'smart' sub. If I know beforehand that I am going to be absent (rare) I make sure students have several different projects they can work on. I have students that have self-appointed themselves as class helpers (I love adult students!) that will also help the sub. My students pretty much know the routine. Since it is a computer class, I encourage the sub to introduce the students to new websites or teach something else they find of interest in the area of technology. Sometimes, I schedule someone to do a presentation in my absence and the only thing the sub has to do is take attendance. For the advanced classes, usually the sub is sorta lost. But most of these students work independently and if the sub can't help...well there's always tomorrow. |

| Posted 7 months ago This message will repeat.
The sub should follow the lesson plans provided whenever possible. They should insist on respectful and good behavior by the students. They should have a "good" day not a "follow the plans to the letter" day. |

| Posted 7 months ago I am currently a sub as well! When I go into a classroom I do my best to run it exactly like the teacher would. I do everything I can to get through all of the lessons...get everything graded/organized...and so on. I have several teachers that call me before anyone else because they can come back to work and continue as usual. I consider subbing to be 1) a great way for me to get more experience in different classrooms alone (since I wasn't alone during student teaching) 2) a great way to see how other teachers have their rooms set up and managment they use 3) a great way to get good references and recommendations! I don't consider myself to be a substitute teacher...I am a teacher. It's always nice to hear that the students got excited when they found out that I was going to be their sub for the day :) You can make a great impression if you try :) |

| Posted 4 months ago Just last Fall/Spring I was working as a Teacher's aid in an Elementary School,(or a Teacher's assistant some call it), so I was working with the same teacher and her class every day, and in the begininng she walked me through an entire day ( What the kids are to do when they first arrive, the first, and second subjects they would work in before lunch, what was expected of the children when they came in from recess and the last subjects of the day, then what they were expected to do at the end of the day, everything up until the very last bus that was called) It was not long before I knew everything from the students entire day to day schedule to what days the teacher had recess duty. Therefore, whenever a substitute teacher would come in, I was there to help them with not only the class, but the overall plan for the day. If the teacher could not make it to school a certain day, she would always have comfort knowing that I would be there not only to help with the scheudlue, but also so the students would not misbehave as well. |

| Posted 3 months ago I assumed that substitute teaching would be a breeze. I asked myself how difficult could it be for a responsible, intelligent, 40+ year old career change graduate student to enter a classroom and deliver pre-written lessons? After all, I had over 20 years of business experience. I was a financial analyst, a sales analyst, a sales manager, a financial manager, a human resources manager, a customer service manager, and an Executive Director at some of the most profitable companies in America. I began traveling the United States for business at a time when women who did such were labeled in peculiar and sexist ways.

Me too. I always put at the top of the plans, "These plans are for your convenience. You get done what you get done, dont worry about anything else." As long as the kids are not acting out too much in my absence, I have no problems with whatever a sub gets done in my class.
