teaching materials relevant for sub assignment
(worksheet, activity, etc.) in case no lesson
plan or instruction is provided. Sample web
addresses - http//mrt.tripod.com
- http//www.teacheroz.com
- First Impressions
- Dress professionally for the position you are
substituting for - Arrive 10-15 minutes before your assignment
begins - Introduce yourself to building secretary and
principal if possible - Upon arriving to the classroom, introduce
yourself to your teaching colleagues in your
area. - The principal may do a 3-5 minute walk through in
your classroom sometime during your assignment.
13- Avoid being alone with a student.
14- Never touch or grab a student.
15- Never leave your class unattended even for a
moment.
16SOCIAL NETWORKING
- BE CAUTIOUS ABOUT FRIENDING STUDENTS and
PARENTS of Students. Same thing goes for texting
and releasing your personal phone or email
address. - KEY RULE OF THUMB Think about the unintended
consequences - COACHES WILL OFTEN SET UP A SEPARATE SITE FROM
THEIR PERSONAL ACCOUNTS AND HAVE THEIR TEAM
CAPTAIN(S) CONTACT THE TEAM FOR ROUTINE MESSAGES
16
17HANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
- Review the procedures, /CONFIDENTIALITY
- student attendance procedure, bus passes, etc
- Safety, Fire Tornado drills
- Also check the schedule for the following
- ASSEMBLIES, SPECIAL EVENT SCHEDULES
- STUDENTS WHO MAY BE AUTHORIZED TO LEAVE CLASS
FOR TUTORING - LUNCH SCHEDULES
- SPECIAL DRESS DAYS
17
18THE CLASSROOMthe beginning...
- Greet students at the door---it will relieve the
element of surprise and help set the tone for the
day. - Take attendance (be sure to ask what the
procedure is for recording school attendance) - Introduce yourself as soon as the class begins
and tell them that it is your job to make sure
that their teachers lesson plans are covered for
the day - Clearly articulate in writing and verbally your
expectations for the class period. Today, we
will... - Its OK to verbally tell your students what your
expectations of behavior are---but dont tell
them a bunch of donts - If theres no seating chart, make one. Have
students write their name on the seating chart so
that the teacher can see where his/her students
sat
19the Middle...
- Follow the teachers lesson plans as closely as
possible. - If there are no lesson plans, or they are not
complete, you dont need to advertise that to
your class. - Use physical proximity and work the room
- Present your lesson into attention-keeping time
frames (10-12 minutes is ideal) - Most lessons consist of the introduction of the
objective the introduction of the new
information, and review/practice of that new
information
19
20the End
- Perfect timing is hardly ever perfect...
- Good classes end with some sort of assessment
- Always collect the Teachers assignments, unless
youve been specifically directed not to do so.
Where possible, review each students work before
class is over and note their progress to their
teacher - Review the objective you stated early in the
class---talk about what youve accomplished - What questions/concerns/confusion do the students
have?
20
21NOTE TO THE TEACHER
- Include all student attendance records
- Divide the day into portions and tell the teacher
specifically what you accomplished (or didnt) in
each portion - Recognize students who were cooperative and
helpful. Let the teacher know specifically
incidents that might have occurred. - Leave your contact information so the teacher can
contact you with questions or when she/he wants
you to sub again!
21
22Check Out at the end of the day
- Be sure to fulfill all of the check out
procedures with your building. - Sign outreturn school/classroom keys
23 - SUBSTITUTE TEACHING MEANS THINKING ABOUT
CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT!
24Helpful Hints about Classroom Management...
- Typical substitute teacher scenarios
- Non-aggressive teachers
- Hostile teachers
- Assertive teachers
- Non-Aggressive teachers will often take a passive
approach seem wishy-washy, unable to articulate
expectation allow more aggressive students to
run the class - Hostile teachers respond in a manner that
exacerbates problems controlling negative
sarcastic classroom management may become a
battleground
24
25Assertive Teacher
- Confident
- Clearly articulates expectations
- Treats students with respect
- Proactive
- Is consistent and firm
- Uses an appropriate sense of humor
- Builds trust
- Speaks respectfully to students
- Non-reactive
- Body Language (eye contact, carriage, facial
expressions)
25
26Classroom Management
- Use proximity as a classroom management tool
move about the room - With-itness--have it! be it!
- Have a classroom toolkit ready for anything
- Return the classroom to the way it was at the
start of the class. - Collect all distributed materials (calculators,
journals, lab equipment, etc.) before the class
ends. - Discourage students from lining up at the door.
27More helpful hints
- Praise in public criticize in private
- Seven habits to avoid
- Criticizing
- Blaming
- Complaining
- Nagging
- Threatening---especially, if you dont
follow-through - Punishing
- Rewarding---when it becomes expected for doing
what is required
27
28Pushing Buttons...
- Verbal arguments---youre never going to come out
the winner dont enter the game. - Say, I understand , but.....
- Example, I understand that Mrs. Jones doesnt
normally give spelling tests on Wednesdays, but
her lesson plans tell me I have to do this. Im
sure shell take care of it when she gets back.
28
29Your Toolkit
- Extra Pens, Pencils, Paper
- Calculator
- Binder with maps, information about schools,
sample activities and lesson plans youve
prepared - Puzzles, games, esp. word games
- Tissues highlighters post-it notes bandaids
hand sanitizer - Other suggestions
29
30SAMPLE ACTIVITIES
- EXIT SLIP
- KWL
- WORD SCRAMBLES/PUZZLES
- THREE-QUESTION QUIZ
- JOURNAL ENTRIES
- GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS
- PAIR-SHARE
- PICK A QUOTE CIRCLES
- TWO-COLUMN JOURNALING
30
31Best to Avoid these Options
- MOVIE DAY! While this might seem like a good
idea 24 students in a dark room for forty or
fifty minutes is a recipe for disaster!- Stop
film every 5-8 minutes and discuss, write about
it, share something, ask questions - INDEPENDENT READING DAY! Again, a prolonged
silent activity invites trouble. Use a reading
organizer like double-entry journal or guided
reading questions - GIVE STUDENTS A FREE DAY! Ahh! Try to give
the students something that relates to their
curriculum. Leave assessment for teacher.
31
32 RESOURCES YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO USE
- A three-ring binder
- Schools information (maps, phone numbers,
secretaries names start/end times misc. info) - Sample activities/games/puzzles divided by
subject and level (K-3 language arts) - Copies of paperwork (confirmation , school
address and phone number)
32
