I got a job!
Finally!!! I am now officially a substitute teacher! Although, I must say I was shocked to find out that I didn't need a degree and there is no training...So, I asked my son's school principal if I could observe a classroom. I still don't feel completely prepared, but I don't know what could prepare me! :) However, this was a very helpful step and gave me ideas of what to expect and how to keep the kids engaged. I start work tomorrow, so if anyone reads this send some prayers my way! I am really excited because I have considered going to school to become a teacher. Now I will have some first hand experience and that will be a good indicator if I should persue this field or not. But, hey! I have a job!!!! :)

Being a sub can be very difficult! Many times the teacher will leave detailed instructions as to what needs to be done that needs to be day. Sometimes that is not the case and you must use some serious creativity! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the advice. I take it you either are a substitute, have subed or are a teacher yourself? Challenging job!
