Survival Skills for the New Substitute Teacher
()
About this ebook
Every year thousands of college students accumulate enough credits to substitute teach. In most cases they are totally unaware of what to do, but they are expected to perform professionally. There are no courses on substitute teaching. This book deals with what to expect from the school staff and how to effectively manage a classroom when you, the substitute, are there for only one day. Here is a blue print for success as a sub.
M. Ed. Jeannette M. Konior
Ms. Konior was born and raised in New York City where she pursued a career in business after graduating from Cathedral High School in Manhattan. She held secretarial and administrative positions in the fields of engineering, sales, utilities, and law. She began teaching religious education classes in the late 1960's. She volunteered her services in the parishes where she lived on a continuous basis. After the birth of her daughter, she returned to school and earned a B.S. in elementary education from The State University of New York at New Paltz. While employed by the Archdiocese of New York as an elementary teacher, she earned her M.S. in education from The State University of New York at New Paltz. She is now certified to teach the following grades: K-6 (all subjects), English 7-12, and Social Studies 7-12. After retiring from the Archdiocese, she continued to teach on a substitute basis in the area in which she now lives. Ms. Konior brings a unique collection of experiences with a wide range of expertise in all grades.

INTRODUCTION
Substitute teaching is a really wonderful way to become acquainted with a particular school and/or school district. You’ll meet the teachers up close and personal. Hopefully, you’ll make some nice friends who may help you in your quest for a permanent position.
