Summary
How does Aesop fill jobs?
• The vast majority of absences are filled by
proactive substitutes looking for and accepting
jobs online.
• Many districts still find value in the calls Aesop
makes to fill absences, especially last-minute
absences. Many districts also fill absences by
going into Aesop and assigning a sub of their
choosing manually, as well.

Types of Substitute Teaching
Licenses
OHIO TEACHING LICENSE: You can substitute in any classroom short-term and
in your licensure area long term (long term = more than 5 consecutive days)
There are two types of substitute teaching licenses:
•
Long-Term Substitute Teaching License is for those who have earned a
bachelor’s degree in a subject that is taught in the public schools (chemistry,
mathematics, language arts, etc.).
•
*Short-Term Substitute Teaching License is for those with an earned bachelor’s
degree in a subject that is not taught in the public school system (psychology,
theology, international business, etc.).
*Restriction on short-term license: not able to fill in same subbing assignment for more than five
consecutive school days.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN...
Be Prepared:
• As time allows, you may want to assemble some teaching materials
relevant for sub assignment (worksheet, activity, etc.) in the event the
lesson plan or instruction is not available. The sites listed are provided
as an example only.

Summary
Tasks for the Beginning, Middle,
and End of Day
Thinking of your day as being broken down into
three parts allows you to structure different tasks
you must complete throughout the day.
THE CLASSROOM
the beginning...
• Greet students at the door---it will relieve the element of surprise
and help set the tone for the day.
• Introduce yourself as soon as the class begins and tell them that it
is your job to make sure that their teacher’s lesson plans are
covered for the day
• Take student attendance (be sure to ask what the procedure is for
recording school attendance if you are not sure.)
• Clearly articulate in writing and verbally your expectations for the
class period. Today, we will...
• It’s OK to verbally tell your students what your expectations of
behavior are---but don’t tell them a bunch of “don’ts”
• If there’s no seating chart, make one. Have students write their
name on the seating chart so that the teacher can see where his/her
students sat
the Middle...
• Follow the teacher’s lesson plans as closely as
possible. Remember they will be ultimately held
accountable for the lesson.
• If there are no lesson plans, or they are not complete,
you don’t need to advertise that to your class.
• Use physical proximity and “work the room”
• Present your lesson into “attention-keeping” time frames
(10-12 minutes is ideal)
• Most lessons consist of the introduction of the objective
the introduction of the new information, and
review/practice of that new information
the End
• Perfect timing is hardly ever perfect...
• Good classes end with some sort of assessment
• Always collect the Teacher’s assignments,
unless you’ve been specifically directed not to
do so. Where possible, review each student’s
work before class is over and note their
progress to their teacher
• Review the objective you stated early in the
class---talk about what has been accomplished
• What questions/concerns/confusion do the
students have?
Finally: Leave a note for the teacher
• Include all student attendance records
• Advise them specifically what you accomplished (or
didn’t)
• Recognize students who were cooperative and helpful.
Advise the teacher of incidents that might have
occurred. If you don’t, the students will!
• Leave your contact information so the teacher can
contact you with questions or when she/he wants you to
substitute again.
46
Check Out at the end of the day
• Be sure to fulfill all of the check out procedures
with your building.
• Sign out—return school/classroom keys and any
other items from the assignment

Summary
Helpful Hints – Your Toolkit
• Being prepared for your assignment means
having important school information available at
your disposal:
– You may want to have print out or save the school
assignment to your electronic device including:
– Location of the school and phone number
– School start and end time, lunch time, & your class
schedule
• Important phone numbers
• Names of Secretaries & Principal
• Aesop confirmation number
Helpful Hints – Your Toolkit
Continued
• Keep students from unnecessarily leaving the
classroom for forgotten items having:
–
–
–
–
–
Extra pens, pencils, and paper
Calculator
Tissues and hand sanitizer
Post-It Notes, highlighters, other note taking materials
Other miscellaneous items
Helpful Hints – Dealing With
Students
• Praise student work in public, however critique in
private to avoid potential embarrassment
• Try to avoid the following behaviors:
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
Blaming
Complaining
Criticizing
Nagging
Punishing
Rewarding (when it becomes “expected”)for what is required
Threatening without follow through
Helpful Hints – Dealing With
Students Continued
• Avoid arguments – You will NEVER come out as
the winner, so no need to enter the game
• Show your understanding of the situation, but
continue to assert your authority
– Example: “I understand that Mr. Smith does this,
however…”
Helpful Hints – Activity Choices
• When a lesson plan has not been provided,
avoid activities involving extended quiet time, as
that may create a disruptive environment:
– Movie Day
• While is sounds like it would be a student favorite, think about
it! 24 students in a dark room for 45 minutes could be a recipe
for disaster!
• If a video is on the agenda, stop the film every 5 – 8 minutes
for discussion or have students write their thoughts on the
movie
– Independent Reading Day
• Prolonged silence can invite trouble into the classroom
– Give Students a “Free” Day
• Provide students an assignment related to their curriculum
Helpful Hints – Activity Choices
Continued
• Below are examples of activities to do in your
classroom:
– Two-Column Journaling
– Short quiz on items learned that day (3 questions
max)
– Word Scrambles/Puzzles
– Have students complete an “Exit Slip” listing what they
did in class that day and their thoughts on the activity
