A Day in the Life of a Substitute

A substitute teacher’s day will vary depending on the grade level and school. Generally, a substitute’s day follows this format:

Check in with the school’s main office for assignment.
Review teacher’s lesson plans before students arrive.
If possible, greet students at the classroom door.
Follow the teacher’s detailed instructions, which will include information about lunch and any changes in classes/subjects throughout the day.
Leave a review of the day for the teacher.
Tidy up the classroom and organize any student work.
