See more information about helping your substitute teacher succeed

Leaving your class with a substitute teacher doesn't have to be a negative experience. If you have advance notice of your absence, you can provide detailed instructions for your substitute, including a copy of class expectations and your lesson plans. Ask your substitute teacher to complete a feedback form, so you know what happened while you were gone. With a little preparation, your students can have a productive day, and your substitute teacher can make a successful contribution.
