Substitute Teacher Tips** >>> ** 2.Use a time filler. **If the classroom work doesn't provide enough material for questions, cut out an article from a newspaper or a magazine on a science topic or on politics and read it aloud to the class and then ask some hard questions. You don't smile or act encouraging in any way - on the contrary, you are seriously disturbed by the students' ineptitude and ignorance. >>> ** 3. Be professional. ** The students expect a Substitute Teacher to be professional. This means dressing, talking, and acting professionally. This rules out dressing in blue jeans and ripped tee-shirt, smoking, and cursing. >>> >>> ** 4. Follow school rules. ** Different schools have different rules. It is your duty to know the different rules of each school. Know if eating in class is O.K.; if student smoking on campus is allowed; learn the location where the class goes in case of a fire drill (for every class you teach). >>> >>> ** 5. Be flexible. ** Being a Substitute Teacher and being flexible are one and the same. You must be willing to teach a Boy's P.E. Class, even though the Gatekeeper called you in to substitute for an Advanced Trigonometry Class. You must be flexible when your lunch break is cancelled because they need a stand-in security person for the noon-hour square dance contest that the Agriculture Department is sponsoring. If the Sub is not flexible, the school may have a hard time effectively utilizing the talents of this Substitute Teacher.

 * ** 1. Make sure that each student's name is clearly visible to you. ** Pass out paper and have students write their own names large. Ideally, name should be attached to front of each student's desk with masking tape. Alternative suggestion: holding a seating chart, walk around to each student, ask each student his or her name, and write each name on the seating chart.
