Navigating the High School Homestretch
Send us a textAs we count down the days to summer, the importance of communication and planning cannot be overstated. I'll guide you through the do's and don'ts of securing our future roles as substitute teachers, alongside the pragmatic steps to ensure we're top of the list for the coming academic year. But it's not all logistics; the soul of the school is its people. I delve into the art of rebuilding relationships with both educators and pupils, championing genuine interactions that go beyond a simple 'hello'. From unexpected donuts in the teachers' lounge to our very own Substitute Teachers Lounge online, it's all about fostering a community that thrives on support and shared wisdom. Together, let's make this final act of the school year one that resonates with connection and purpose.
There are LOTS of podcasts for teachers, but Substitute Teachers Lounge is the first podcast ever that also highlights substitute teachers. This podcast is aimed at giving ALL types of teachers the tools you need to teach in K-12 (elementary school, middle school, and high school), including administrative aspects as well as helping students receive everything they need to learn and feel special. We interview teachers, subs and students to make sure we have the information we need in order to "get it right". And, since it is a "lounge", you will have plenty of opportunities to share your stories too!
