Very Helpful Handbook,
By Sheryl (Remington, VA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Substitute Teacher Handbook 9-12, Fifth Edition (Paperback)
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.

Good in General,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Substitute Teacher Handbook 9-12, Fifth Edition (Paperback)
During a substitute orientation class we used the substitute handbook for grades K - 12. I decided to buy the handbook for my own reference. Since I was going to substitute for high school only, I decided to buy the 9 - 12 version. Unfortunately the book was almost identical to the K- 12 version. As an example it suggested using puppets. I can't see using puppets with seniors. Having said that, there are general topics that are beneficial for preparing to be a substitute teacher.
