Substitute Teacher Survival Guide? Of course, you want to THRIVE, not just survive!
Subbing is one of the hardest jobs on Earth. Just ask the guy in the Kindergarten Cop movie. Yeah, the Terminator gets chewed up by 5-year-olds.
That won't happen to you! Right?
You'll be prepared. You'll go in knowing...
...exactly what to bring, do, and say when you walk into the classroom.
If you present a calm and confident front, even if you don't always feel it inside, it's a major win. A simple shift in your voice -- ever-so-slightly slower and lower-pitched -- can work wonders.
You'll learn to be firm; give specific, clear
instructions for every action. And, maybe just as important, be kind.
You'll know, that one of the best “rewards” is to say, “Thank
you for helping.”
...and that a simple paper award can be as good as gold!

National Substitute Educators Day is the third Friday in November, capping off American Education Week.
But we regular teachers have the inside scoop. We appreciate our subs EVERY SINGLE DAY!
And oh, boy, do we celebrate really great subs--and the happy kids and tidy classrooms they leave behind.
Substitute Teacher Guide is more than a Survival Kit. It's everything you need to be a successful sub; with tons of tips, printables, teacher scripts, and lessons in every curriculum area.
You’ll get expert advice on subbing; from job interviews to really cool lessons, mastering technology to behavior management, so you’ll be calm and confident in the classroom.
NOT JUST FOR SUBS!
This Kit is also perfect for...
Regular teachers--as a refresher course for yourself, or to set up a comprehensive sub binder for the substitute teacher on days you are absent. The seasonal crafts will perk up every month. And the generic lessons will last you a full year.
As always, I'll be thinking of you -- my peeps -- and wishing you all the best!
