#052: What Your Sub Wishes You Knew...
Cell phones out, toilet paper on fire--just another day in school when the regular teacher is out and a sub is in charge, right? No way!
TUNE IN: APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY | STITCHER
Do you ever feel overwhelmed or stressed out about figuring out what information your sub will need? How many hours do you spend making sub plans? Too many, right? And when you’re sick, making detailed sub plans is the last thing on your mind. But those sub plans are the key to a successful day for your substitute teacher! Join Lisa as she chats with Barb Mastro, former PE teacher, swim coach, and sub extraordinaire.
Today's episode is all about Barb’s best tips for planning for a substitute teacher, straight from the sub herself. As a substitute, Barb has taught it all--from AP Calculus to language arts, and elementary P.E. As a band mom and swim coach, she might come in knowing what kids are trustworthy, but that still doesn’t mean they won’t take “field trips” while going to the bathroom (just cross your fingers no one lights the toilet paper on fire).
Listen in.
In this episode, find out:
- What’s most helpful to include in sub plans
- How to get the most out of your students on a substitute day
- Why you definitely need a “sub notebook”
- How to not “suck” as a sub, even if students label you as “horrible”
You can do this!
