Summary: <br> <br> <br> Do you have a sub folder?<br> If not-time to get one.<br> If you do-have you updated it recently?<br> <br> Ok, so at some point you are going to be absent.<br> Really! Whether you are sick, you have a sick child who needs you, or you are sent somewhere, you will need a substitute teacher. And this means that you will need a substitute folder. Yes, it can be a folder, box, bin, or notebook. It can also be electronic.<br> The point is that you need information for your substitute teacher and it needs to be readily available and up-to-date.<br> In today's podcast, I am focused on what you should keep in that folder. <br> Here are my 7 Items that You Should Have in Your Subsitute Folder:<br> 1. Seating Chart<br> 2. Bell Schedule<br> 3. Emergency Procedures<br> 4. How to Take Attendance<br> 5. How to Operate Equipment<br> 6. Special Notes<br> 7. Work Assignments (Updated Regularly)<br> <br> <br> <br> Now don't mistreat your substitutes. Having had the experience of dealing with no assignments and assignments that took all of 5 minutes (if the kids made it take that long), I know what it is like to have to be creative and feel like a stand-up comedian in front of a crowd without a script. Create meaningful activities and update the folder weekly.<br> By the way, make sure that someone knows where you keep that folder, notebook, box or whatever you use. Mark it clearly...You know like on the 60's Batman Television Show-The Sub Folder, My Sub Folder, Substitute Cave, Substitute Info, etc. Hopefully you get the picture.<br> Make sure that it is easily found.<br> By the way, you can have much more in your folder, just make sure that these 7 items are in your folder, at the very least.<br> <br> 1. Seating Chart<br> 2. Bell Schedule<br> 3. Emergency Procedures<br> 4. How to Take Attendance<br> 5. How to Operate Equipment<br> 6. Special Notes<br> 7. Work Assignments (Updated Regularly)<br> <br> Go create or update that folder.<br> You will be glad that you did and your sub will thank you.<br> <br> <br> Length: 16:53<br>
