Instructional Ideas

  • Update class information, schedules, etc., frequently so substitute plans are always ready for use
  • Highlight important information so substitutes do not miss items necessary for a successful day 
  • Attach a sheet of paper for the substitute to write a detailed note about the day's happenings

Classroom Considerations

  • Some printables look best in color 
  • Review lessons offered to confirm their appropriateness for your class
  • The lesson plan is the first of seven in a series created by The Curriculum Corner

Pros

  • Substitute plans open as an editable copy 
  • Provides lessons that are general enough to be implemented at almost anytime of the school year 

Cons
