Reviews for Substitute Teaching

Substitute teaching is hard work deep in the trenches of school.

For new and experienced subs, the book provides attention-grabbing lessons and strategies that are ... Read morecreative, entertaining, and educational along with key management skills that should be required reading before walking into any classroom: newbie and veteran substitute teachers alike will be better for reading it.
Jeffrey Pflaum, teacher, education writer and blogger, and photographer Sid Gilford has done it! He has put together a masterful work for those who step into the mix as substitute teachers. Theirs is a difficult job, but Gilford's work is comprehensive and includes everything necessary for substitute teacher success. The author's detailed approach covers 'taking the phone call' from a district, to 'filler activities' at all grade levels – and everything in-between. Gilford has thought through the 'what-ifs' of classroom management and has answered them with practical and tangible applications. His work deals with both the professional and personal sides of substitute teaching. Lo-and-behold: Substitute teachers are humans too! As a lifelong educator, adjunct university professor, and district-level professional development leader, I am thrilled that someone has provided the requisite tools for substitutes to continue to advance learning. I highly recommend Gilford's book.
Ernest J. Zarra, III, PhD, educator, professional development leader, Kern High School District, Bakersfield, California, and author of Teacher-Student Relationships: Crossing into the Emotional, Physical, and Sexual Realms This is book provides an excellent resource for professionals who wish to become substitute teachers, regardless of the grade level or discipline of interest. Unlike so many other sources in the field of education that devote little attention to this topic, the author has rightfully identified the important role that substitute teachers play in schools and has provided a roadmap to assist them with understanding their interests and preferences as well as the skills and knowledge needed to be successful. Practical exercises are also included to assist with ensuring that all class time is committed to important learning activities. Given the useful and practical nature of the subjects covered, this book is a must-have reference for not only aspiring and current substitute teachers but experienced teachers and administrators who are responsible for assisting them.
Nicholas D. Young, superintendent, South Hadley Public Schools, Massachusetts, and 2010 Massachusetts Superintendent of the Year This book skillfully links the social and academic responsibilities of the substitute teacher and makes a solid connection to the student learners' needs and opportunities for experiencing enjoyment of learning. This is regardless of grade level. The foundational relationship between teacher and student is clearly examined for effective educating that's meaningful for all present. Materials and attitudes are aptly addressed, and the eight Appendices round-out this book's comprehensive attention to 'best practices' for successful substitute teaching. The author has left 'No stone unturned,' with a plethora of teaching styles, differentiation of instruction ideas, and application of varied modalities/activities/methodologies.
