This truly is a comprehensive resource for substitute teachers! I've been subbing for years and this book inspired me to buy a three-ring-binder and really get organized. It has lots of useful pages to copy, ideas for the classroom, tips, pages to photocopy for recordkeeping and activities, and motivational ideas. The pages are also perforated and hole-punched for immediate usefulness. The book is really well-done and useful for new subs as well as experienced ones. I highly recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Organizer!, July 15, 2005

This review is from: The Substitute Teacher's Organizer: A Comprehensive Resource to Make Every Teaching Assignment a Success; Grades K-6 [With Labels] (Paperback)

I am going to be substitute teaching this year and have read many books on the subject. This book was helpful because it has many reproducible forms and worksheets. The book is used to create a Substitute Teacher Binder. You need to buy a binder, four sets of five tab dividers, and plastic sheet protectors. Then, you tear out all of the pages of the book and organize them in the binder. The book includes labels to organize the material. It took some time to create the binder (it wasn't fun tearing out all of the pages). However, I think it will be useful. I plan to add other ideas to the binder over time. It doesn't have a lot of information on HOW to substitute teach. It gives you a lot of information on HOW to make substitute teaching easier. If you don't have some background in education, I recommend that you read other books as well!

This review is from: The Substitute Teacher's Organizer: A Comprehensive Resource to Make Every Teaching Assignment a Success; Grades K-6 [With Labels] (Paperback)

I am subbing this year for the first time after graduating with teacher certification. I tend to be organized to the point of obsession and I was really looking for something to help me keep track of my various teaching assignments, plus house quick and easy ideas to use in the classroom when we have spare time.

This book is by far the BEST deal I have found for substitute teachers. Too many "sub kit" style books assume that you have no idea how to teach at all and the content is wasted on people like me who have been through a teacher training program. This organizer, however, does not do those things. You get practical, insightful and helpful resources to make your subbing assignments more productive. The reproducible sheets for leaving notes to the teacher and keeping track of the jobs are WONDERFUL. I've even had classroom teacher's compliment me on my organization when they see my binder!

It is definitely worth the price and the time it takes to put the organizer together.
