The handbooks, both K-8 and 9-12, are complete with classroom management techniques, teaching strategies, and fill-in activities for the entire class or for those individual students who finish early.... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I read this book cover to cover and would recommend it for any substitute teacher. It tells you things to remember from the moment your phone rings with a call to sub (what should you have by your phone and what should you ask each time they call) to what you should bring, checklists and supplies and forms to fill out to report back to the permanent teacher. Also, very good are the filler "sponge activities" to use if you have empty time. These filler activities were tailored to each specific subject area with sheets to copy and everything. For instance, what to do if you are a sub for a Spanish class and you do not know Spanish. Good ideas about discipline too and certain legalities regarding subs. All in all this is an excellent handbook. I would recommend it highly.

The best book on how to substitute 9-12 students. You don't need any other book. I''ve attended two different workshops on how to be an effective substitute teacher (each sponsored by a different entity), and they both highly recommended this book OVER ALL OTHERS ON THE SUBJECT.Don't waste your time on anything else.--George Stancliffe
