Substitute teachers

Submitted by Adam (not verified) on March 25, 2008 - 11:18.

I am curretly in my first year of substitute teaching in an elementary building. It is very difficult at times but I feel that I have gained a lot of great experiences from my current situation. One of the biggest things that has helped me out the most is making sure that the students know that I expect the same behavior from them as their everyday classroom teacher does. I reinforce this by going over the set classroom rules with everyclass before the day starts. Going into the day the students know what kind of behaviors are unacceptable and I feel that this has really worked.
