substitute teachers

Temporary classroom instructors

Substitute teachers are temporary instructors who fill in when regular teachers are absent.

They may cover a single day or longer periods, following lesson plans left by the permanent teacher.

The role is often entry-level or part-time, and substitute teachers typically lack the authority and classroom rapport of regular staff: We had a sub today, so nobody did any work.
