How to Prepare Class Management Tips for a Substitute Teacher?

A teacher knows her class well from students to classes and other

responsibilities. But what if one day you come to know that you require

taking long emergency holidays and you have no time left to brief the new

substitute teacher. You are worried about the unfinished course and other

activities and preparations for upcoming annual day. The solution is to

prepare easy plan folder for the substitute educator, so that he/she feels

more comfortable and knows exactly what to do, without feeling panicky. It

is usually that substitute teachers are without notice as it is emergency call.

It gets difficult for him and students to adjust to the change. A little help

from your side can help reduce the gravity of awkwardness for new teacher

and students. Here is how you can prepare easy plans for your substitute-

Begin with listing classroom rules. It is like an overview for teacher to

know what to do and what not to do. By gaining knowledge on this

front, the substitute can let children know that he/she is well aware

with followed conventions in the classroom. This will alert students to

not to take their new teacher frivolously. This will help ensure that

students behave as they should.

Prepare a description for class routines. Let the substitute teacher

know what subject class follows another. It is not just about providing

a time-table but write whatever that is required for example – Are

students in charge of handling out papers in a particular class? When

do students get free time? Etc. Also, write names of teachers taking

particular classes along with the names of their substitute teachers.

Prepare lesson guide plan. Include all chapters and reference

materials. Also, if subjects are assisted by any practical lessons.

Provide books and reference materials. Have them printed off and

place it in the folder for easy access.

Provide substitute teacher with a policy handbook, so that he/she can

quickly refer to it at times of dilemma. It may include things like lunch

rules, fire drills, playground rules, internet usage etc.

Last but not least prepare list of students in the class. With complete

information about them. Mention emergency contact number of each

child’s parents or guardians. Also, mark the names of students who
