Whether you’re planning a personal day or hit with a surprise morning illness, there’s nothing more stressful than trying to pull together sub plans at the last minute. That’s exactly why I created this easy-to-use, fully editable Substitute Teacher Binder—so you can take time off without the chaos.
What Is It?
The Substitute Teacher Binder is part of The Pottie Spot Ultimate Teacher Planner collection. It’s designed to be your go-to resource for all things sub-related. Just print it out, pop it into a binder or folder, and you’re ready to go for the school year.
Inside, you’ll find templates and tools that make it easy for any substitute—whether they’ve taught for 20 years or 2 days—to step confidently into your classroom.
