sub plans
By suem

As a sub, I like to just do what the teacher intended for the day. I understand with guided reading it is a little hard, since we all do it just a little differently, but for math, science, etc, we are quite capable doing
the lesson you had planned.
What I like to have as a sub is how you run your day, if you do calendar skills, how do you do them, who takes the attendance to the office or do you do it on the computer or does the office come get it. How do you do lunch count?
I need a very accurate seating chart or better yet, names on desks.
Make sure you have your materials where I can find

them. If you didn't know you were going to be gone, do you have a folder either in your office or on the desk where I can read to see where everything is. If you have morning duty, can you trade it with someone else? I need this time to make myself familiar with your classroom and having to do morning duty, (before school) makes my job more difficult. I don't mind the other duties, just that one.
Let me know if you send a misbehaving child to the office or to another teacher. It's hard, I know, I have been both a sub and a regular teacher, but what we need the most are the daily things.
By the way, videos are one of the worse things for a sub. The kids are a little wound anyway and a video makes them think they can really act up.
