A MUST!!!

This book is an absolute must for all subs. Most books only cover k-8 and this book goes all the way through high school. As any sub knows, high school is a whole new ball game from any thing else. If you sub PLEASE buy this book!!

Substitute Teacher Handbook

Very comprehensive excellent handbook on substitute teacher. The number one book recommended by many school districts.

Practical Magic!

This book is the best resource out there, and is currently being used at the local university. I am an education major and my campus uses this edition as well. There are many helpful bulleted lists for quick reference while in the classroom. Several supply freebies are printed up just waiting to Xeroxed st your convenience. Still, the best features are it's ease of reading and application of little details that make all the difference. This is the kind of "practical magic" you don't receive from a formal education that makes all the difference come game time.

recommended for new teachers

This book is very handy and has been very helpful in giving a new teacher ideas for use in the classroom. Many activities and reproducable sheets are included as well. While most of the content on being an effective teacher I have read elsewhere in such titles as Harry and Rosemary Wong's 'The First Days of School', this handbook is recommended for teachers who are starting out.
