We have some substitutes at

We have some substitutes at our elementary school with no experience teaching at all. Some are African and are limited in their English literacy. Yet amazingly, when I take the time to "script" the lessons-- typing out every word they say and every action to perform, the results are fine. It takes me about an hour to do this using the Word file I keep on my computer, which already has the schedule for that day on it. I label the files Sub Plans Wed or Sub Plans Thursday AM. It's definitely worth the effort of scripting the plans since I don't lose a day from the subject area curriculums.
