PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Substitute Tips to Fine Tune
You’ve signed up to be a substitute teacher, and now you are doubting you made the right decision. Now you are wondering and find yourself asking questions. Will you ever get to teach something in my degree area? Will you ever understand this new math? Will today be the day that the teacher will leave lesson plans to follow? Will this school be as bad as they say it could be? But the number one question in your mind is will I be able to survive the day? The answer is yes to all your wonderings. However, we do not hold the key to the order or dictation of the experience. Here are a couple of tips that can help fine tune your experience.
Be Prepared
- The night before know where you are going, who you are replacing for the day, grade and subject matter you will be teaching.
- Review your substitute handbook, Learning Standards for the grade and subject, also plan for no lesson plans.
- Arrive at your assignment earlier than requested. This will allow time for you to walk into the building, find the front office, and possibly ask questions in regards to the expectations for the day.
- Be alert and aware at all times. You cannot properly monitor sitting behind the desk, talking or texting on your cell phone, or with your back toward students while on the computer.
- Use professional ethics – your private and personal business stays outside the school building.
Be Flexible
- Be prepared just in case the assignment changes. (ex. You thought you were teaching 3rd grade math. Now they will like for you to teach Kindergarten.
- Be ready for if the school decides to have a safety drill. This may be a fire drill, tornado drill, evacuation, or school lockdown.
- Be willing to carry the lesson out or extend the lesson. You may have to create a quick game, do readers theater, or even just work through the lesson together as a class.
- Take accurate notes about any incidents or discipline problems that may occur.
- Remember, as a substitute you are the adult in the classroom.
