    Tips For Being A Successful Substitute Teacher 
    Before Class Begins:
    • Dress professionally and be well groomed.
    • Be on time.  Report at least 15 minutes prior to your assigned time.
    • If you are unable to fulfill the assignment previously agreed to, notify the school contact person immediately.
    • Sign in at the office upon arrival.
    • Locate the teacher's substitute packet.  Take time to review the information contained in this packet.
    During Class:
    • Always follow the teacher's lesson plans as closely as possible.
    • Keep accurate attendance reports.
    • Familiarize yourself with fire and emergency instructions.
    • Introduce yourself to the class and write your name on the board.
    • Learn as many of the students' names as possible.
    • Be ethical and professional at all times in relationships with students, staff, and parents.  (Never use abusive language or discuss your personal life with students.)
    • Enrich the instructional program with information that is pertinent to the students' subject.
    • Remember that professional matters should be discussed only with those who administer and supervise your teaching.
    • Remain with the class at all times.  Do not leave students unsupervised.
    • Remember that all injuries or cases of illness occurring during the day must be reported to the principal or his designee immediately.
    • Remember that you are expected to fulfill any duty assigned by the contact person.
    • Leave your name, phone number, and a brief report of the day's activity for the regular teacher's use.
    After Class Ends:
    • Make sure the classroom, equipment, and records are left in order when you leave.
    • Let school administrators know if any problems arose that may need intervention.  Serious occurrences must be reported as soon as possible.
    • Return keys and materials to teacher's mailbox or contact person.
    • Check with the contact person to see if you will be needed the next day.
