Relief and Substitute Teacher Handbook and Sub Plans

✅Are you new to Relief, Supply, or Substitute Teaching? Have you been subbing for a while but would like new resources to use in the classroom?

☀Being a relief teacher and a substitute teacher can come with its own set of challenges. This Relief Teacher Survival Kit is your one-stop resource for handling a job assignment with confidence and ease! Your students will LOVE all of the easy-to-use activities and you will love the fact that little or no preparation is involved.

☀If you are just starting out in your teaching career, or if you need a spark of new ideas, this resource is jam-packed with activities you can use with your students. It includes hundreds of fun, authentic, and engaging activities that I have used with great success in my own classrooms throughout my teaching career.

☀If any teacher has ever relieved another teacher’s class, then they will have realized it is very different from having their own group of students and being well-prepared can make the day much less stressful.

☀Depending on the age group that you are making yourself available to teach this may specific grades or even K-12. Don’t totally rely on the class teacher to have work prepared for the class. You need to be completely prepared and flexible , just in case there are any last minute changes.

Even if work has been set for the class, you may need to access your knowledge of the internet to find some websites in a hurry that will reinforce and support the topic that you have been left to teach.

☀I began to build a resource kit for myself when I began casual teaching, and then I realised just how many ideas and activities I had been using over my 40 year teaching career. I have spent many hours

searching through websites, searching books for great ideas and activities.

☀The eBook can be used with any storage, to access when you need a quick activity or web link. Copyright is granted to print off 1 copy for personal classroom use.

DISCLAIMER Since compiling this resource, a number of the websites have become inactive or have become subscription based. This is one of the disadvantages of a resource that links to external websites.
