Overview

A teacher shortage, exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic, has triggered an increased need for substitute teachers leading to a shortage of subs. In response, many districts and states have resorted to extreme measures engaging those who are untrained and lack experience. This revised, 2nd edition substitute teacher book has been updated to reflect changes including tips to help navigate uncertainties of the “New Normal” while continuing to serve as a means for preparation for substitute teaching and an on-site resource. In addition to topics such as Teaching Strategies, Classroom Management, and Lesson Plans more than 30 Ready-to-Copy Classroom Activities labeled by subjects and grades are included. A goal of this book is to enhance abilities and skills for substitute teachers to serve beyond the role of a classroom “monitor” by providing information, methods, and activities which help support student learning and retention. Whether new or seasoned, regular substitute or filling in during the shortage crisis, the contents of the book provide information and strategies to help substitutes feel comfortable and confident in a classroom teaching students.
