Substitute Woes

Stay

In addition to the preparations you have to make in advance for a substitute teacher, often while you’re sick, there’s always the fear that your students will go bonkers in your absence.

I’m sure this has never happened to you! When you’re absent, your little cherubs sit still and blink their wide, innocent eyes at the substitute teacher while patiently awaiting your return.

If you are in the minority like me and your students need a little reminder of how to behave in your absence I made a special PowerPoint template just for you.
