Step in with confidence!
Are you feeling that you have tried everything and the students still don't respond?
You’ve probably tried to do a few (or all) of the following:
- Being nice or stern
- Yelling or giving the silent treatment
- Not knowing when to send a student to the office and when to handle the situation yourself.
- You have tried copying what others do, but you are more confused than before.
- You worry that teachers won't see you as a good sub.
Most importantly, after everything you’ve tried, you’ve gotten little or no results.
No shame! I’ve been there, and I’m the first to admit that there is definitely a struggle managing a classroom that is not yours. That struggle is real.
But guess what? It’s not your fault.
It is likely that you have never been really trained how to manage a classroom. It takes trained teachers a long time, years in fact, to figure this stuff out.
The problem is not you it’s the lack of training that you have received.
Substitute teaching doesn't have to be a mystery. This course will give you the skills to slay your day.
