SUBSITUTE TEACHER

If you are considering working as a substitute teacher (sub), and if you have minimal experience doing such work, it is quite likely that you have very little idea of what to expect. The truth is that a sub has to expect just about anything. In the substitute teacher's booklet, I cover matters such as:

• Dealing with poor lesson plans (It happens.)
• Handling trouble-making kids (It's inevitable.)
• Limiting workload (Beware!)
• Avoiding bad assignments (They're out there.)
• Dealing with emergencies (That's life.)
• Needing liability insurance (Can you say "litigation?")
• and much more.

A sub cannot be over prepared. Successful teaching is always a function of proper preparation, period! This booklet will help the novice sub to intelligently accept or reject an assignment, to efficiently perform an accepted assignment and to make sure s/he is properly paid for the assignment. What? You thought the payroll department would lose sleep over whether or not you were properly paid? Think again!
