- Were you provided with the appropriate resources to fulfill your job duties (contacts, emergency plan, keys, seating charts, school maps, etc.)?
- How well did you feel welcome and supported by campus staff?
- Did you have support for students with behavioral challenges?
- Would you be interested in returning to this school in the future?
SUBFriendly Campus Suggestions
We've gathered substitute feedback to find out key indicators to improve our efforts. Our goal was to use these results to help our department create an environment that will support our substitutes, campuses, office managers, and administrators. Based on the results we have gathered some campus best practices from STEDI.org, to progress even further.

- Welcome substitutes on your campus with a warm greeting.

- Request Dallas ISD Substitute Badge with employee ID number.
