From Zoo Keeping to Classroom Management

There are many professions that have you shadowing a person for your training. From fast food restaurants to banking, you are never handed a spatula or a teller drawer and told to have at it. So why do we do this to brand new teachers and substitute teachers? They just give you the keys, attendance folders and possibly worksheets and or textbooks. Well, what about specifics, like what to do if the students take over the room by sitting in the wrong seats, giving you a pseudonym when you try to reprimand them or constantly talking instead of doing work? A KWL chart and or puzzles won’t help you control a classroom, but this guide will. It is a step by step instruction manual of what to do when you first walk in the door and how to handle the students when they arrive. The tips in this book will take a lot of stress from your substitute teaching assignment, so you will be smiling at the end of the day and ready to take on the next challenge.
