Substitute teacher. The words strike joy into the ears of children in schools everywhere- an easy target- a free day.
With those preconcieved notions firmly entrenched into children”Sub’s” have hard job.
The life of a vagabond public educator is not without perks: You only work when you want to. You don’t have to do lesson plans or grade papers- your work stays at work.
Here’s some observations I have made:
Getting the Call: Find out the teachers name, what school, and what subject.
Arrival: Get there early! Get to your job a few minutes earlier than you are required to. If something can go wrong- It will.
Attire: Dress how you want to be treated. I wear a tie.
Lesson Plan: Follow the teacher’s plans. They know things you don’t know.
Discipline: Start off firm- you can always soften up. Be consistent. If you say you are going to do something- Do it.
