While I've taught more than substituted, I can tell you that substituting is the hardest type of teaching to accomplish. If you plan to truly work effectively as a substitute, here are some ideas that you might want to consider.
The teacher who works diligently to have good lesson plans, deserves a substitute that will effectively use them with the class.
If the teacher leaves good notes, the substitute should leave good notes about what happened through the day.
The substitute stands in for the teacher, and their best philosophy is to help the teacher as well as possible.
Not all substitutes or teachers are equal, so these high expectations may not be implemented by them. Those teachers who have high expectations for the substitute working in their classroom, should request and receive a substitute who agrees with their high standards.
This has always been an important topic, yet it is always helpful to discuss our beliefs about the need and use of effective substitutes.
