1. Dress the part – A professional substitute teacher wears attire that is appropriate for an<br />
educational setting.<br />
2. Be Positive – Permanent teachers care about the students in their class. They know each<br />
student’s individual strengths and weaknesses, and will want to see those areas handled<br />
appropriately. They anticipate the substitute teacher will appreciate the good in all students by<br />
bringing out the best in them.<br />
When a substitute teacher uses good judgment, avoids criticism, and adapts to circumstances<br />
in a positive way, the substitute becomes a good role model for both the children in the<br />
classroom and other staff members.<br />
3. Respect the Students – Treating the students as individuals is important. Talk “one-on-one”<br />
with students that are misbehaving and do not blame the entire class, punishing the group for<br />
the misdeeds of a few. It is best to reprimand in private and reward in public.<br />
