Here are some additional tips for success as a substitute teacher:

  • Be organized: Stay organized by keeping track of your lesson plans, attendance sheets, and other important paperwork.

  • Be flexible: Things don't always go according to plan in the classroom. Be prepared to adjust your lesson plans as needed and to deal with unexpected situations.

  • Be patient and understanding: Students can be challenging at times, but it's important to be patient and understanding. Remember that they are still learning and growing.

  • Have fun!: Teaching should be a fun experience for both the teacher and the students. Try to make your lessons engaging and enjoyable for everyone involved.
