Substitute Teaching guidelines.

1. Guidelines for Substitute
Teaching

2. Don’t make it a power struggle.
As long as students are behaving and
completing their work, it’s okay to
have some fun.
But no tape!

3. Keep your sense of humor
In most cases the students are not out to get
you!

4. Own up to your mistakes.
As I read the school news or instructions to
students and something comes out of my
mouth wrong… I always stop and say “use the
delete key!”

5. Laugh in front of/and with the
students
Happy students are less likely to cause
problems, show the students how to be happy
and learn.

6. Don’t take anything
personally
It’s a good life lesson!

7. Anything can happen be
prepared and keep your cool!
Fire Drill
Lockdown Drill
Earthquake Drill
Etc.
If you stay calm the students will be calm,
whether it’s a drill or real.
